Detox Granola

Description

This version, slightly adapted from the 'Detox Recipe' book is a healthy, delicious option to consider for breakfast. Even my kids would forego a Macdonalds to have this sprinkled on some Greek yoghurt with a drizzle of honey.... To get the 'full' detox effect however eat with skimmed/rice milk or natural yoghurt and fresh fruit.

Cooking Time

Preparation Time :10 Min

Cook Time : 40 Min

Total Time : 50 Min

Ingredients

Serves : 6
  • 225 oats


  • 60 sunflower seeds


  • 60g sliced almonds


  • 60 hazelnuts


  • 2 clear honey


  • 2tablespoons sunflower oil


  • 85 water


  • 1 vanilla extract


  • 1 ground cinnamon


  • 85 apricots

Directions

  • Heat the oven to 170 degrees C/Gas mark 5.
  • In a large bowl mix oats, sunflower seeds, almonds and hazlenuts.
  • In a separate bowl combine the honey, oil, water, vanilla extract and cinnamon. I find putting this in the microwave for a minute heats it sufficiently to mix the ingredients.
  • Add liquid to the dry ingredients and mix well.
  • Spread out on a large baking tray and bake in the oven for 30/40 minutes. You will need to stir/turn it occasionally until evenly browned. I wait until it is done then turn off the oven and leave the door open. This way it seems to fully dry out and stays crisp for longer.
  • When cool add the apricots, cut into thin slivers. Mix and store in an airtight tub.
  • A nice alternative is to use pecan nuts instead of hazlenuts. Do crush/chop the nuts yourself though as, if you buy the uniformly shop bought chopped ones, the texture is all wrong.
