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 make this all the time now. raisin-phobics in the family, so I just use the nuts.Pecans are my favourite, so I use half those, and half mixed nuts. I suggest adding the nuts half way thorugh the cooking time, or they are prone to burning

    Never made granola before, but always meant to. It was very easy and very delicious! We ate it with greek yoghurt and a drizzle of honey, if you eat it like this there is enough to feed four people for at least a couple of weeks. Will be making this again.

    I made a massive amount & got a bit carried away with adding different nuts, cranberries, dried apple & apricots. Ohh & chopped up fig rolls. It was yummy. Now in the process of filling Kilner Jars & labelling it as My Christmas Granola. Giving them as presents. Best ever.

    This recipe is a staple in our house. We use it on top of porridge with natural yoghurt and honey and on it's own with milk. I leave out the dried fruit and add in rye flakes and extra seeds. Fantastic and so simple to make.
