Detox Granola image

This version, slightly adapted from the 'Detox Recipe' book is a healthy, delicious option to consider for breakfast. Even my kids would forego a Macdonalds to have this sprinkled on some Greek yoghurt with a drizzle of honey.... To get the 'full' detox effect however eat with skimmed/rice milk or natural yoghurt and fresh fruit.

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

225 g oats, try to get organic ones
60 g sunflower seeds
60 g sliced almonds
60 g hazelnuts, crushed
2 tablespoons clear honey
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
85 ml water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
85 g of finely chopped apricots

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 170 degrees C/Gas mark 5.
  • In a large bowl mix oats, sunflower seeds, almonds and hazlenuts.
  • In a separate bowl combine the honey, oil, water, vanilla extract and cinnamon. I find putting this in the microwave for a minute heats it sufficiently to mix the ingredients.
  • Add liquid to the dry ingredients and mix well.
  • Spread out on a large baking tray and bake in the oven for 30/40 minutes. You will need to stir/turn it occasionally until evenly browned. I wait until it is done then turn off the oven and leave the door open. This way it seems to fully dry out and stays crisp for longer.
  • When cool add the apricots, cut into thin slivers. Mix and store in an airtight tub.
  • A nice alternative is to use pecan nuts instead of hazlenuts. Do crush/chop the nuts yourself though as, if you buy the uniformly shop bought chopped ones, the texture is all wrong.
