Ben´s Granola | Rowena G's Recipes

Ingredients

• 1 kg oats (rolled, flakes)
• 100ml neutral cooking oil (e.g. corn oil but you can use olive oil for a unique flavour)
• 200ml water
• 100-200g soft brown sugar (to taste): you can make it sugar free if you prefer, but it takes longer to get the Maillard reaction (non-enzymic browning)
• Mix all granola base ingredients together.
• Spread in a non-stick, oiled baking tray.
• Bake at 180°C for 30-40 minutes, or until evenly toasted;
• Half way through use a spatula to move the mix around, and stop it burning at the edges
• Toast a selection of nuts e.g hazel, almond, walnut in a dry frying pan. Smaller nuts (e,g. pine nuts) and smaller pieces take less time than whole nuts
• Add to the granola base, along with a selection of dried fruit to taste
• Allow to cool completely before packing away in an airtight container.
• Breakfast
• Cakes and Biscuits
