honey nut granola
I just love granola, I love the taste, texture and the smell that homemade granola fills the home with. It stores well in the pantry and is the perfect after school snack (or breaky) with some Greek yoghurt and fresh berries – it is filled with fibre, carbohydrates, protein, fat, and deliciousness
The perfect combo your teen needs for energy while they study, read, play sports, dance, practice their instrument or to help you to prepare dinner!
recipe (makes 3 cups)
ingredients
1 cup buckinis
½ cup oats
1.5 cups mixed nuts (I used combo of walnuts, almonds & pecans)
1/3 cup mulberries (you can use sultanas here)
2 tsp cinnamon
¼ cup honey
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp vanilla paste
method
1. Preheat your oven to 180C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. In a large bowl mix together the buckinis, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, currants and cinnamon.
3. In a small bowl mix together the honey, olive oil and vanilla paste.
4. Pour the honey mixture into the buckini mixture and mix until really well combined.
5. Pour the mixture onto the baking tray and pat down into a single layer.
6. Bake for 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely and then break into large chunks. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
tip
I love mine with some Greek yoghurt and berries, but you could also have it with milk OR you can do what my brother does and eat it straight from the container hehe
