Homemade granola

I realise granola is probably not as good for you as mueseli but it’s so tasty and sweet and when living in New York I rather enjoyed it as snack or with a pot of yogurt as a lunch option. I came across this great picture and recipe in the Martha Stewart Living magazine I got for Christmas and thought I would give it a go … when I finally tracked down coconut flakes and a supply of maple syrup at the Beach Road Deli in Paekakariki!

Lined up the ingredients: oil, maple syrup, salt, cinnamon, brown sugar, oats, pecans and coconut flakes

Mixed it all up

Spread it in the baking pan

Baked it in the oven stirring often

Cooled it

Popped it in an air-tight container

And my god it’s YUM. Sweet and biscuity and all kinds of bad! Here’s the recipe on marthastewart.com
