I am super fussy when it comes to Granola. I like it to be full of flavour but no "hard bits" in it. I was born with fragile teeth and eating store bought food like this will most certainly break them if I am not careful. So I decided to create this recipe so I could eat it - worry free.
It has 3 WW Points per serve - 20 grams. Originally it was only 2 points but I found I needed a little more sweetness in it so I added honey. You can omit the honey if you want and it will take it back to 2 points.

Granola our way
We love our Granola, but we also like bits of this recipe and bits of that recipe and a few things of our own thrown in. This is what we have come up with as our perfect mix.
- Thermomix
- Oven
- 100 gms Dried Fruit (Apples, Apricots, cranberries)
- 100 gms Sultanas
- 150 gms Assorted Nuts (almond, hazelnuts, cashews)
- 150 gms Assorted Seeds (sunflower, pepitas, flax, chia)
- 10 gms Sesame Seeds
- 190 gms Oats
- 60 gms Coconut oil
- 40 gms Honey
- 40 gms Maple/Agave Syrup
- 75 gms Coconut Flakes
- 1 tbsp Cinnamon
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 100 gms Dark Chocolate Chips (Optional)
-
Preheat oven to 160 degrees
-
Place fruit into TM bowl and Chop
Turbo - 1 second - 3 times
Transfer to a bowl and set aside for after bake
-
Place nuts into TM bowl and Chop
30 seconds - Speed 4
Scrape down the sites of the bowl
-
Add seeds, oats, coconut oil, coconut flakes, honey, maple/agave syrup, cinnamon, salt into TM bowl - Mix - leaving MC OFF - Mix with aird of TM Spatula
3 minutes - 85 degrees - Speed 2
-
Transfer mixture onto a baking sheet and distribute evenly as possible avoiding edges of the tray - I find these bake too quickly
-
Bake for 15-20 minutes - First check at 5 minutes then every 2-3 after that. Yes it is time consuming, but you don't want burnt bits.
-
When granola is at the cook you want (remembering it always looks lighter in the oven that when out) Add your dried cut up fruit and mix through
-
Leave to cool and transfer to airtight container
-
** You can also add small dark chocolate chips once it has cooled for a sweetness in your granola
