- 1/2 x Lemon, juice of
- 1 pch Grnd cinnamon
- 100 gm Sunflower seeds, (4oz)
- 1 x 100 gram whole blanched almonds, (4oz)
- 1 x 100 gram whole hazelnuts, (4oz)
- 100 gm Pumpkin seeds, (4oz)
- 100 gm Desiccated coconut, (4oz)
- 100 gm Sultanas, (4oz)
- 100 gm Dry dates, (4oz)
- 100 ml Runny honey, (3 1/2fl ounce)
- 4 Tbsp. Sunflower oil
- 1 tsp Grnd cinnamon
Directions
- For the muesli: In a small frying pan toast the hazelnuts till lightly golden and then either crush or possibly chop into small pcs.
- In the same pan add in the porridge oats and toast lightly and then remove from the heat.
- In a large bowl grate coarsely the pears and apples and then mix with the porridge oats and all of the other remaining ingredients. Fold the mix well and add in more lowfat milk depending on desired texture.
- For the granola mix: Preheat the oven to moderate temperature of approx 180 C/350 F/gas mark 4.
- Either place all the nuts into a strong plastic bag and crush roughly with a rolling pin or possibly place them in a blender and quickly pulse the nuts so which they are in rough pcs. You don't want them to be too rough or possibly too fine, as this will affect the texutre of the granola
- Now using a deep roasting tray (the one used for Sunday roast is ideal) place in all of the ingredinets except the dry dates and sultanas. Mix the nuts and desiccated coconut together well with the oil and honey. Place the roasting tray uncovered in the oven to cook.
- Now chop the dates into roughly the same size as the sultanas and mix together ready to add in 10 min before the end. Meanwhile I would suggest you have another job which you can be doing in the kitchen as it is best to stir the granola every 10-15 min.
- 10 min before the end take the granola out and add in the dry fruits. The granola and roasting tray will be very warm and only mix the fruits with the granola with a spoon or possibly fork. Place the tray back in the oven and continue to cook for a final 10 min.
- Once the granola is a beautiful dark golden brown colour remove from the oven and leave to cold. As the granola begins to cold, the mix will become crunchy and slightly chewy, these are the two hallmarks of a good granola.
