Easy Healthy Granola (food gift)

It was inspired by SortedFood holiday food gift and bananasundae from sorted food too.

I used a old jam jar and some strings to decorate this. 

I did modify the recipe by adding in apricots, raisins, nuts and even cooked quinoa!

You can even left the nuts and seeds whole or just chop up a little. I prefer whole anyway ;)

Since Christmas is coming, i added a heaping teaspoon of cinnamon and nutmeg to make it more festive!

 

The main ingredients are :

1 cup of combination Rolled oats and porridge oats ( or just one type of oats ) 

1/4-1/3 cup of honey ( just until everything is combined and sticks together forming lumps )

optional (you name it ) :

walnuts

almonds

cashews

pistachio 

mixed peel

raisins

apricots

coconut flakes

etc...

steps :

preheat your oven at 150'c. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

1.  combine everything in a large bowl can mix until just moistened and crumbly except for dried fruits.

2.  pour on a lined baking sheets and bake for 15 minutes and toss them periodically to avoid burning. Honey does get burn easily.

3.  let cool and toss with diced dried fruits. Serve!

Specially made for my best friend ;)
