Step 1

Prepare the Oats and Nuts

In a large mixing bowl, combine 500 grams of rolled oats with an assortment of your favorite mixed nuts. You can be creative here—use almonds, walnuts, pecans, or whatever you enjoy most.

This mixture will serve as the base for your granola, providing essential fiber and healthy fats.

Step 2

Add Honey and Mix Well

Next, add 150 grams of honey to the oat and nut mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure that the honey evenly coats all the oats and nuts, which will help them become crispy when baked.

Mixing it thoroughly at this stage is crucial for excellent flavor and texture.

Step 3

Optional Additions

If you would like to incorporate additional flavors, feel free to add any dried fruits or seeds at this point. Seeds can enhance the nutritional value and add delightful crunch.

Consider things like sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or raisins for added texture and taste.

Step 4

Bake the Granola

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (about 350 degrees Fahrenheit). Spread the granola mixture evenly onto a baking sheet.

Bake for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure an even golden color. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-browning.

Step 5

Cool and Store

Once the granola is baked and golden, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely. When it’s cooled, combine in your favorite dried fruits and then transfer it into a jar.

Store your homemade granola in a pantry or cupboard to maintain its freshness.
