Granola is definitely one of my top choices for breakfast. The beauty of preparing your own granola is that once you understand the fundamental recipe, perhaps by using a guide, you can customize your granola to suit your preferences.








Ingredients for a basic recipe:

  • 300g rolled oats

  • 60g almond butter / peanut butter or any other nut butter of preference

  • 8 tablespoons maple syrup or honey

  • 90g mixed nuts (crushed into small pieces)

  • 2 tablespoons flaxseeds

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt


Extra ingredients you might want to serve with your granola:

  • Yogurt

  • Milk

  • Berries (frozen or fresh)

  • Chocolate chips

  • Dried fruits such as raisins, sultanas, or cranberries


Cooking tools you will need:

  • Saucepan

  • Mixing spoon

  • Large mixing bowl

  • Baking tray

  • Sheet of baking paper


Step-by-step guide:

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (fan oven)

  2. Add the oats, flaxseeds, nuts, salt, and cinnamon into a large bowl and mix

  3. In a saucepan, melt the nut butter and maple syrup on low heat until it is all combined

  4. Pour the nut butter mixture from the saucepan into the large bowl with the oat mixture

  5. Mix the ingredients together. If you want to create chunks of granola, try using your hands to mix

  6. Pour the granola mixture onto a baking tray lined with baking paper

  7. Bake for around 10-15 minutes, until the granola is golden in color

  8. Let the granola cool at room temperature as it will continue to crisp as it cools

  9. Serve as desired and enjoy!
