Ingredients 

2 cups of oats

½ cup of of honey or maple syrup

1 tsp cinnamon 

1 tsp of vanilla essence

Seeds- chia seeds, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds etc.

Nuts- almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans etc.

Dried fruit (optional) - cranberries, dates, raisins etc.

Coconut flakes (optional)

Chocolate chips (optional)

Method

1. Place oats, and any dry ingredients you’re using in a bowl, (ie. cinnamon, nuts, seeds, fruit, coconut, chocolate chips).

2. In a separate bowl, mix honey/ maple syrup and vanilla essence together. 

3. Pour the wet ingredients into the oat mixture and combine until there are no dry bits. Depending how many seeds & nuts you use, you may need more wet ingredients. In this case, add more honey or try using coconut oil or peanut butter for extra flavour. 

4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the granola mixture onto the sheet in an even layer. 

5. Bake in the oven at 180C for around 20-25 minutes. Every 5-10 minutes, give the mixture a turn so it doesn’t completely clump together or burn.

6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Break up any large pieces of granola into smaller clusters and store in an airtight container. 

7. Serve with yoghurt or milk and fresh berries.
