After years of tinkering with granola recipes, this is my current favourite. In fact, I’ve stopped looking for ways to improve it; I know what I like, and I’ve found it!
Making granola is super easy, and it gives you the chance to customise your breakfast just how you like it – you can change up the fruit, nuts, and flavourings to suit your personal taste, but I promise you won’t go far wrong with this one.
This is my signature granola, which I always have in the house. The recipe can be adapted endlessly to suit your particular taste, but this is the version I've come to love and settle on.

50gsunflower seeds
Extras
100gsultanas
50gcoconut flakes
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 150c / 130c fan.
In a large bowl, measure out the vegetable oil, honey, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, orange extract, and salt. Stir everything together.
(Pro tip: It’s easier to get all the honey off the measuring spoon if you alternate the oil and honey)
Add the oats, bran flakes, hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds into the large bowl containing the wet ingredients.
Fold the mixture carefully with a large metal spoon, coating all the drying ingredients.
Divide the granola between two large baking pans, and shake into an even layer.
Bake the granola for 15 minutes, then add half of the sultanas to each pan, and give everything a good stir.
Finally, sprinkle the coconut flakes over the surface of the granola, and bake for a further 10-15 minutes, until the coconut is pleasingly browned, but not too dark!
Remove the granola from the oven, and transfer into a cold tray to cool quickly and avoid over baking.
When cold, give everything a good stir together, and then transfer into an airtight container.
Serve with fruit, yoghurt, milk, or simply eat as it is!
