How to make your own granola

Making your own granola cereal at home means that you’re able to control what ingredients to include in it. Plus it’s super easy!

If you don’t like one of the variety of nuts or seeds then just leave them out, or swap them for something else you’d prefer.

If you fancy making your own, here’s what you need to make homemade granola:

For the bulk of this healthy yet super simple granola recipe, you will need rolled oats, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, flaked almonds, dried berries and coconut flakes.

You can also start your homemade granola with a Granola Base, oat clusters which have a hint of honey and don’t need to be oven baked.

Mix all the ingredients, aside from the dried fruit and coconut flakes, with maple syrup, honey, vanilla extract and vegetable oil and mix together well. Pour this mixture into baking trays and spread evenly. Bake this in the oven for 15 minutes and then mix in the dried fruit and coconut flakes.

Bake for 10-15 more minutes before removing and transferring the mixture onto a tray to cool. And then eat!
