Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190C/Gas 5/fan oven 170C. Halve some of the pecans, leave some whole. Mix with peanuts, oats, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. In a jug, measure the oil and pour into the mixture, then measure the honey - it will slide out easily. Stir together with a fork to break up any big clumps of oats.
  2. Pour on to a large baking tray with sides, preferably non-stick, in a thin layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring well at least twice and bringing the mixture in from the edges, until it is golden. Transfer to a large bowl and leave to cool.
  3. Mix in the berries and cherries and serve with plenty of chilled milk.
  4. Store for up to 1 month in airtight container.

    I haven't tried this yet, but I eat granola every day with Greek yogurt and honey, so I'll try this instead of the shop bought stuff

    This granola has become a morning staple for us -- we've been making it weekly for a year now. We've simplified it & reduced the fat content by mixing together 450g of rolled oats, 2 Tbsp canola oil & 2 Tbsp honey, baked at 190C for about 12 mins. Just be sure to check on the granola about 6 mins into baking and give it a quick mix. We keep the cooled granola in a container & everyone adds their own toppings. Yumm!!!
