Honey Granola

Our Honey Granola is one of the stars of the breakfast table at Thyme. Pair with fresh yoghurt and a seasonal fruit compote ... the perfect start to your day.

This recipe will make 1.5kg of granola, store in a large Kilner jar and it will last a month (although you will probably run out a long time before that)

Ingredients:

• 500g oats

• 60g un-blanched almonds, roughly chopped

• 60g un-blanched hazelnuts, roughly chopped

• 60g pecans, roughly chopped

• 75g sunflower seeds

• 75g pumpkin seeds

• 40g sesame seeds

• 350ml Southrop honey

• 60ml vegetable oil

• 150g sliced apricots

• 150g sultanas

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 160°c

2. Line a large roasting tin with baking parchment. Mix all the grains, flakes, nuts and seeds in a bowl.

3. Gently heat the honey and oil in a large heavy saucepan. Stir in the grain mixture and mix well until it is all coated.

4. Spread the cereal evenly and thinly over the baking parchment and bake for 20 minutes. Stir until golden for another 10 minutes.

5. Remove from the oven and leave to cool before breaking the granola up into small chunks. Add the dried fruit and mix well.
