Description
Jamie Oliver Granola is a mixture of rolled oats, nuts, seeds, and sweeteners (like honey or maple syrup) that is baked until crisp. It’s typically eaten as a breakfast
Ingredients
- 300g rolled oats
- 100g mixed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or cashews), roughly chopped
- 50g mixed seeds (like sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or flaxseeds)
- 100g dried fruit (such as raisins, cranberries, or apricots)
- 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- A pinch of sea salt
- Fresh berries or yogurt, for serving (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, mixed nuts, seeds, cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a small saucepan, gently heat the honey (or maple syrup) and coconut oil (or olive oil) over low heat until melted and combined. Pour the mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly, making sure everything is coated evenly.
Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking tray in a thin layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even toasting. The granola should be golden brown and crispy when done.
Once baked, remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the tray. As it cools, it will become even crispier. Once cooled, stir in the dried fruit.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage, or serve it immediately with fresh berries and yogurt, or with milk for a hearty breakfast.
