Crunchy Granola

The one thing I find is a huge time saver is to make something that is so versatile,which can be delicious served in many ways ! Having received a request for a Granola recipe...I think this is something we should all make and store at home,it's quick,healthy,light and can be crumbled and make a simple vanilla icecream,very special,can be mixed into simple muffin batter to make healthy granola muffins,eaten with a dollop of yoghurt,or just as a simple but satisfying snack !
Ingredients
350 g rolled oats ,200g unsalted peanuts , 100g almonds , 100g sunflower seeds, 150 g light broen sugar/jaggery, 5 Tbsp honey, 3 Tbsp oil, 5 Tbsp maple syrup, 2 tsp cinammon powder / 2 Tbsp cocoa powder ,300g raisins/cranberries/dried berries,pinch of salt
Method:
Pre heat the oven to 180C
Mix all the ingredients,except the raisins
Mix together in a large bowl using hands or rounded spatulas
Pile the mixture in a greased baking tray
Let bake for 30-35 mts,after 10mts,keep turning the mixture ensuring that nothing burns,should only be lightly toasted
Once golden,let cool and store in an airtight jar
Other options for flavour are,apple sauce,golden syrup,seasame seeds,walnuts,pecan nuts...experiment away :))
