Oat, maple and nut granola
Make a large batch of this nutrient- and energy-packed granola for three weeks of ready-steady-go breakfasts. Serve your homemade granola with yoghurt and fruit, or simply with milk.
Ingredients
- 200g/7oz rolled oats
- 50g/1¾oz golden linseed
- 40²µ/1½´Ç³ú bran
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 100g/3½oz whole almonds, skin on, very roughly chopped
- 100g/3½oz shelled walnuts, roughly chopped
- 10-12 dates, stones removed, roughly chopped
- 50g/2oz goji berries (available from health-food shops and some supermarkets)
- handful hemp seeds (available from health-food shops)
- large pinch ground cinnamon
Method
Preheat the oven to 160C/325F/Gas 3.
Sprinkle the oats, linseeds and bran onto a baking tray. Drizzle over the maple syrup and roll the dry ingredients around on the baking tray to coat them in the syrup.
Bake the syrup-coated ingredients in the oven for 15-20 minutes, shaking the tray a few times as the contents cook. Remove from the oven when golden-brown and set aside to cool.
When the oat mixture has cooled to room temperature, tip it into a large airtight container and stir in the nuts, dates, goji berries, hemp seeds and cinnamon until well combined.
