Healthful Toasted Muesli (Granola)

by Kelly 10 Comments

 
I know, I know, there are thousands of recipes for toasted muesli (or granola) on the internet. But I’ve been fiddling around to try and make a healthy, not too oily, but not too dry recipe.

 

And I’ve hit on something pretty darn good! There is the base recipe, but then you can add to that according to what you have at the time. This batch was timed to coincide with a visit to a Lebanese nut shop, so we had a lot of extra delights to put in.
 
The best part is that many of these ingredients are easily accessible and may be in your pantry already.
 
 
 
It includes those wonderful staples such as rolled oats, raw honey, olive oil, shredded coconut, vanilla extract and sultanas.
 
All you need to make this recipe is an oven and a roasting pan.

Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Cook Time 30 minutes mins

Equipment

  • Oven, roasting tray

Ingredients
  

  • 5 cups rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded or desiccated coconut
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg white (optional)
  • 1/2 cup sultanas

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 170 degrees (C).
  • Mix all dry ingredients in a tray with sides so it doesn’t spill. A roasting tray is ideal.
  • Warm the honey until runny and mix in olive oil and vanilla. Pour evenly over dry mix. Mix thoroughly.
  • Now pour over the egg white and mix thoroughly.
  • Place tray in the oven and set the timer for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, take out the tray, turn the ingredients and return to the oven.
  • Repeat until the muesli has baked for 30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and stir in the sultanas.

This recipe is super flexible, making it great for when you have certain ingredients on hand. Here are a few options for ways you can vary your muesli.

Add ins (examples of)
1/2 cup chopped peanuts
1/4 cup chopped almonds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup chopped macadamias
1/4 cup chopped cashews
1/4 cup pistachios 
1 cup LSA mix
Chopped dried fruit eg. apricots, peach, paw paw, apple, dates, cranberries
Rules for add ins
*For seeds and nuts, add these in at the dry mix stage. 
*For dried fruit add ins, mix in when the muesli has finished baking.
 
Allow the muesli to cool before placing it in an airtight container. Serve with milk or use as a delicious topping on stewed fruit and yoghurt.
 
Also makes a delightful gift when placed in an attractive jar.

I hope you enjoy this recipe! Don’t forget to comment and let me know how yours turned out. If you love it, you could even leave me 5 stars 😉
