Simple Healthy Granola

As a huge lover of granola it just seemed wrong that I hadn't tried making it from scratch yet, so I took to my trusted Honestly Healthy  book and got going.



You will need: 



  • 50g dried dates
  • 100g oats
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 85 g nuts (I used brazil nuts and walnuts but it's up to you)
  • 15 g pumpkin seeds
  • 3 tbsp olive oil

 ONE- Preheat the oven to gas mark 3 (160 C/325 F). Simmer the dates in tiny bit of water to soften.

TWO- Blend until smooth.


THREE- Chop up your nuts if you want to then simply mix everything together well.


FOUR- Spread out mix onto a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes or until golden. Reduce temperature to gas mark 1/4 (110C or 225F) and bake for another 30 minutes.

 FOUR- Leave to cool then transfer to an airtight container.


























I would tell you how great it is with greek yoghurt and almond milk but I have a nasty cold and can't taste anything, but you know I'm sure it's delicious.
(p.s sorry about the photos the sun decided to set and make life hard)
