Ingredients

320g rolled oats (gluten-free if required)
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp sea salt
120ml grapeseed oil
120ml maple syrup
75g chopped pecans, walnuts, or your favourite nut
85g raisins
4 tbsp pumpkin seeds

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F/Gas 2).

2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together the grapeseed oil and maple syrup, and pour over the oat mixture. Using a large spatula, fold the ingredients together until everything is well mixed.

4. Spread the granola on a large baking sheet, and bake for 20–25 minutes, stirring twice during baking, until the granola is toasted and golden brown.

5. Transfer to a clean bowl; stir in the pecans, raisins, and pumpkin seeds; and allow to cool completely. Store in a tightly sealed glass jar for up to 1 week.

Tip: You can easily customize this recipe. For Nutty Chocolate Granola, add some chocolate chips. For Coconutty Granola, add some flaked coconut. Change the nuts or seeds as you like, use as many different kinds of dried fruit as you like, include some candied ginger. Try cardamom or ground nutmeg instead of, or in addition to, the cinnamon.
