Homemade Granola
You can use whatever ingredients you like and leave out anything you don’t. Keep an eye on the oven as it bakes; granola can burn in a matter of seconds — I’ve been caught out many times myself!

Ingredients
1 tbsp butter, melted
3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
3 tbsp maple syrup
200g oats
100g chopped nuts of choice — I use almonds and hazelnuts
40g Rice Krispies
3 tbsp desiccated coconut (optional)
3 tbsp dried fruit, finely chopped — I use cranberries
Method
Preheat the oven to 200˚C, 180˚C fan, gas 4.
Combine the melted butter, coconut oil and maple syrup in a jug.
In a large mixing bowl, add the oats and nuts.
Pour the melted butter, coconut oil, and maple syrup mixture over the oat mix and combine everything well.
Spread the mixture out on a baking tray and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, tossing the mixture every five minutes for an even cook. The oats should be lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and add the Rice Krispies, desiccated coconut, and dried fruit.
Give everything a good mix to combine it. Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container for up to four weeks.
