[RECIPE IN SHOW NOTES] 

Simon and I LOVE granola. But we don’t love paying $18 for what’s essentially a bag of OATS (and don’t get me started on café prices...) Luckily, I used to work in a café where I picked up a few tips on how to make DELICIOUS, HEALTHY and CHEAP!!! granola, which I’m very excited to share with you in this episode.

Recipe  

Ingredients  

4 cups of whole rolled oats 

1 tsp salt 

cinnamon (optional) 

1.5 cups of whole nuts eg., pecans, pepitas, almonds, etc. 

Method 

TOSS all this around. Turn oven on to 175C and get out your biggest baking tray out 

MIX 1/2 cup oil (eg., firm coconut oil), 1/2 cup honey, 1 tsp vanilla essence or paste - combine these ingredients in a bowl and melt lightly in the microwave 

Pour over the oats, add everything to the baking tray, and roast for about 10 minutes. Toss and if necessary, bake for another 3-5 mins. When browned and releasing delightful aromas, remove, add in a cup of dried fruit, including (if you want), dried ginger sliced finely. Serve with yoghurt and fancy berries.
