Method

This recipe is my amendment to this one: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1590/goodforyou-granola

Preheat oven to 130 (fan) / 150.

Combine 2 tbsp olive oil, maple syrup, honey, allspice, vanilla extract, ginger and lemon in a large bowl and mix well.

Add the oats and nuts (but not the coconut) and mix so that they are all coated by the liquid then leave for 20-30 mins to cluster.

Spread out over a couple of large baking trays so that they get evenly roasted.

Put into the oven for 15 mins.

Take both trays out of the oven then add the berries, coconut and olive oil and mix everything up again before spreading out and returning to the oven for 12 mins.

Once out of the oven, leave to cool for a couple of hours before keeping in an airtight container.

I’d recommend eating this with Skyr Honey Yoghurt for a bit of extra protein.
