This happens to be only the best granola you'll ever taste in your life - I am enormously grateful to Andy Rolleri for supplying the recipe. You may think making your breakfast cereal is a strange way to go about life, and certainly I'd never have thought I'd be the kind of person who does this, but the only big deal here is the shopping - the actual making is incredibly easy - and even there, don't be daunted by the length of the ingredients list. It means one big sortie to a health food shop and then you've got

Number Of Ingredients 13

450 grams rolled oats
120 grams sunflower seeds
120 grams white sesame seeds
175 grams apple sauce (or apple compote)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
120 grams brown rice syrup (or rice malt syrup, or failing that golden syrup)
4 tablespoons clover honey (or other runny honey)
100 grams soft light brown sugar
250 grams whole natural almonds
1 teaspoon maldon salt
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
300 grams raisins

Steps:

  • Mix everything except the raisins together very well in a large mixing bowl. I use a couple of curved, rigid spatulas; normally, I'd be happy to use my hands, but here it just leaves you covered with everything. Spread this mixture out on two baking tins (the sort that come with ovens, and are about the width of a rack) and bake in a gas mark 3/170°C/150°C Fan/300-325ºF oven, turning over about halfway through baking and re-distributing the granola evenly during the baking process. The object is to get it evenly golden without toasting too much in any one place. This should take anything from about 40 minutes. I use a gas oven, which doesn't brown as fast as an electric one, so often leave it in for up to an hour. Once it's baked, allow to cool and mix together with the raisins. Store airtight.
