| Ingredients:
2 tablespoons clear honey
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
110g/4oz rolled oats
2 tablespoons wheatgerm (from health food shops)
25g/1oz hazelnuts, chopped
2 tablespoons desiccated coconut
25g/1oz stoned dates, chopped
25g/1oz raisins
To serve
2-3 bananas, apples or oranges,
peeled and chopped
150ml/¼ pint yoghurt
Method:
- Put the honey and oil in a large bowl and microwave on medium heat for 30 seconds. Gently mix in oats, wheatgerm, hazelnuts and coconut.
- Remove turntable from microwave, cut a circle of non-stick baking parchment to fit and turn the mixture on to it. Carefully lift the turntable back into the oven.
- Microwave on medium for 4-5 minutes until mixture is lightly browned, stirring every minute to prevent hotspots burning. Granola continues to brown after the oven is switched off, so don’t overcook it.
- Add the dates and raisins, stir well, then cover and leave to stand for 1 minute. Allow to cool.
- Divide the granola between cereal bowls, allowing 1 to 2 tablespoons per person. Serve with chopped fruit and top each portion with a little yoghurt. Store any left-over granola in an airtight jar to keep it crisp.
