Ingredients




230 medium gr.s  oat flakes( not the large big ones, but the full oat flakes, but a little bit s
70 gr.s  pecans, broken  to pieces
45 gr.s pumpkin seeds
1 tablespoon broken line seed
60 ml.s  canola oil
80 ml.s  maple syrup
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
50 gr.s raisins, cut up
30 gr.s  dried cranberries, cut up

Preparation

1 Preheat the oven on 180 ° Celsius. 2 Take a large bowl & put the oat flakes, pecans & pumpkin seeds in it. Mix well. Add the 1 tablespoon of broken line seed to it. Mix well. 3 In another bowl, mix the canola oil with the maple syrup. Add the vanilla extract. Stirr good. 4 Put the ingredients of bowl 1 in to the other ingredients & mix well. 5 Take a non - stick roasting tin & spread out evenly in to the roasting tin. 6 Bake for about 18 to 20 minutes until all crisp. 7 Every 5 minutes or so, you have to stirr everything around, so that it will be crisp on every side. 8 Otherwise, it will burn on one side & it wouldn't be crisp on the other side. 9 Bake until everything is golden & ready. 10 When it is ready, turn the oven off. Take out of the oven & let it turn cold. 11 When it is all cooled of, place it in a bowl & add the dried fruit. You can choose whatever fruit you want, but I like this combination. 12 So, i add the dried cranberries & add the dried raisins & mix well. 13 Now, you can enjoy it! 14 Store in an airtight storage box.

About


I adore making granola. You can find a lot of unhealthy granola recipes on the internet. I experimented with other recipes & I came up with this one. This is my favorite granola recipe. My husband & my family loves it!
I call this one a christmas recipe, because there are red dried cranberries & green pumkin seeds in it. They are the primal colours of Christmas.
It is lovely with milk, yoghurt or with Kéfir,.... Mmmmmmmm....
