Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 125ml/4fl oz maple syrup
  • 25g/1oz caster sugar
  • 25ml/1fl oz sunflower oil
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 500g/1lb 2oz jumbo rolled oats
  • 175g/6oz mixed seeds (like pumpkin, sunflower, sesame or linseeds)
  • 150g/5oz pecans (or walnuts)
  • 50g/2oz whole almonds
  • 25g/1oz flaked almonds
  • 75g/2¾oz desiccated coconut
  • pinch of salt (optional)
  • 2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • 150g/5½oz dried cranberries

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 170C/325F/Gas 3. Line two large roasting trays with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Put the maple syrup, sugar, oil and vanilla extract into a large bowl and mix well. Then toss in the oats, mixed seeds, pecans (or walnuts), whole almonds, flaked almonds, coconut and salt and cinnamon (if using). Give it a good stir and then get your hands in, picking it up and letting it fall down to coat and moisten everything really well.
  • Pour the mixture onto the roasting trays and spread it out evenly. Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, giving it a good stir and swapping them about on their shelves half way through.
  • The granola should be golden-brown when cooked. Remove and leave to cool completely before stirring the cranberries through. Store in an airtight container for up to a month.
