I was inspired by JAGs post about making granola so I thought I'd give it a try. I looked at several recipes to get ideas but settled on this -

Ingredients
(all measurements are rough as I just gave up measuring and started chucking stuff in by the end)

150g oats
2 tablespoons ground flax
30g flaked almonds
100g chopped walnuts and brazil nuts
30g of mixed seeds
100g raisins
100g agave syrup
2 tablespoons apple juice
Half teaspoon mixed spice
Teaspoon of ground cinnimon
2 teaspoons of natural vanilla extract

Mix all dry ingredents apart from spices and raisins togther.




Then mix the wet ingredients and spices together and then mix into the dry stuff till it clumps together a bit. Spread on an oiled baking tray and put in the oven at 160 (when I made this I did it at 180 for about 20 mins and it tastes a bit burned so put it in lower and keep an eye on it) take out of oven every so often and mix it up so it toasts evenly.
When it is golden brown (not burnt brown!) take it out, let it cool a bit and then add raisins.




Keep in an air tight container. I'm going to have it with yoghurt and chopped fruit or topping on porridge.
