Step 1

Preheat oven to 150C/300F.

Step 2

Combine Dry ingredients, excluding dried fruit.

Step 3

Combine Wet ingredients.

Step 4

Combine Wet and Dry ingredients. Do a taste test. Adjust to taste - more sweet, more fat etc.

Step 5

Spread on baking tray and bake until golden, approximately 35 - 40 minutes, tossing twice.

Step 6

Stir through dried fruit. Cool. Store in an airtight container.

Step 7

Preheat oven to 140C/280F. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.

Step 8

Combine Wet excluding egg whites.

Step 9

Combine Dry including dried fruit.

Step 10

Whisk egg whites with fork until foamy.

Step 11

Mix Wet and Dry in a large bowl, then mix through egg whites.

Step 12

Spread granola on the tray, making a hole in the centre, like a doughnut (see photo in post).

Step 13

Bake for 45 minutes - DO NOT STIR - until golden. Check at 35 minutes.

Step 14

Then turn the oven off, leave the granola in the oven, and open the oven door open a bit. Leave the granola to cool. The colour will deepen and it will firm up.

Once cool, break into clusters. Store in an airtight container.
