Homemade granola is much tastier than store-bought granola. It’s cheaper to make it yourself, it can be flavoured to your personal preferences and best of all, it is so much healthier for you.

Recipe Notes
The honey can be reduced or increased as per your personal preference.
When stored in an airtight container, it will last up to 2 months.
This is an incredibly versatile recipe. You can add any combination of nuts, seeds and dried fruits, according to your preferences. My favourite combination is almonds, hazelnuts and sultanas.
To achieve the all-important clumps, it’s important to ensure that the oats are slightly crowded in the tray, so they can stick together. Once cooked, leave the tray out for a few hours to allow the oats to further clump as they cool down.
