How to Make Your Own Granola Clusters

rolled oats

brown sugar

¼ teaspoon of kosher salt

cinnamon

honey

canola oil

vanilla

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. In one large bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, kosher salt, and cinnamon.

Once combined, add the fruit and nut combination which most appeals to you and your kids' taste.

In a second smaller bowl, combine the honey, canola oil, and vanilla. Once thoroughly mixed, pour the honey mixture over the oat mixture. Then using your hands, mix the ingredients forming clusters of your desired size.

Plop the clusters over the lined cookie sheet and bake for 20 to 30 minutes until the clusters are light golden in color.

Be sure to keep an eye on the clusters throughout their time in the oven as those that become a deeper golden will have a burnt flavor.

Once light golden color is reached, allow the clusters to cool completely.

Once cool, feel free to enjoy, but make sure to store all leftovers in an airtight container as they can go stale quickly if not properly stored.

Delicious, super crunchy granola clusters, sweetened with honey are perfect for breakfast or a ready-made snack. Easy to make, easy to customise, and incredibly tasty, this chunky granola can sit in your pantry ready for whenever the urge strikes.

Honey Granola Clusters

vegetable oil ((notes))

vanilla extract

oats

almonds

brown sugar ((notes))

sea salt

dried cranberries (or other dried fruit)

Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F / 160C fan forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

In a large bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: honey, oil, vanilla extract. Mix them really well.

Add the remaining ingredients (except the cranberries). Mix well - this is easiest with your hands.

Tip onto the prepared baking tray. Press it down into a thick layer.

Bake for 20 minutes, giving it a mix around and flattening out again halfway through.

Add the cranberries and stir it around, then press down again.

Bake a further 7-10 minutes until it is deep golden in colour.

Remove from oven and let it cool at room temperature until completely cooled.

Break into clusters and store in an airtight container for 4-6 weeks.

Homemade Healthy Granola

coconut

raisins

cranberries

pecan nuts

pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

sea salt flakes

oranges

unsalted butter

maple syrup

golden syrup

Preheat oven to 130°C.

Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with baking paper (half sheet measurement)

Add rolled oats, coconut, raisins, cranberries, almonds, pecan nuts, pepitas, salt and orange zest to a large bowl.

Add butter, maple syrup and golden syrup to a small saucepan. Simmer on low heat for 5-6 minutes until butter has completely melted. Mix well.

Add the butter mixture to the bowl with the oat mixture. Mix thoroughly until the butter mixture coats everything evenly.

Tip the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet (half-sheet sized / 46cm X 33cm / 18 in X 13 in). Spread evenly to completely cover the baking sheet with the granola mixture. Press down on the mixture with a wooden spoon or spatula and compact it (this step is very important if you want chunks of granola)

Bake in the preheated oven for 55 minutes. Turn off the oven and allow the tray to rest in the warm oven for another 3-4 minutes.

Remove from the oven and cool the granola completely in the tray. This takes about an 1-2 hours.

Once cooled, granola will be crispy and dry and you will be able to break it into clusters. Store granola in a large air-tight container in a cool corner of your kitchen for up to 4 or 5 weeks.
