Bring it to your table

Homemade granola gives you control over texture and flavour, from lightly toasted oats to generous clusters with nuts and seeds. One tray can brighten several breakfasts.

Build the base

Combine rolled oats with chopped nuts and seeds, then coat lightly with oil and a modest sweetener. Cardamom, cinnamon or vanilla creates a warm aroma without complicating the recipe.

Spread the mix in an even layer.
Use a lined tray.
Keep dried fruit out until baking is complete.

Bake for crunch

Bake gently and stir once or twice depending on how clustered you like it. Let the tray cool fully before breaking it up; cooling is when the crunch settles.

Watch edges near the end.
Cool without stirring for clusters.
Add raisins or dates after cooling.

Store and serve

Keep granola airtight and scoop it over curd, fruit or milk. It also works as a crunchy topping on smoothie bowls or warm steamed fruit.

Use a dry spoon.
Label the batch date.
Make smaller batches in humid weather.

Bring it to your table

Once a favourite proportion is found, granola becomes a useful kitchen rhythm rather than a special project.
