Welcome to my first ever instructable.

If like me you are a cereal lover then I think you will like this granola recipe. It is very simple to make and very flexible. Most of the ingredients can be swapped for similar equivalents to produce a different but equally tasty granola.

So experiment and let us know what you come up with!

Step 1: What You Will Need

Ingredients:

75ml (2.5 fl oz) Honey
75ml (2.5 fl oz) Maple syrup
125g (4.5 oz) Salted butter
450g (1 lb) Flattened oats
75g (3 oz) Pumpkin seeds
75g (3 oz) Sunflower seeds
50g (2 oz) Sesame seeds
50g (2 oz) Chopped hazelnuts
50g (2 oz) Chopped pecan nuts
50g (2 oz) Chopped almond nuts
50g (2 oz) Chopped pistachio nuts
75g (3 oz) Dried coconut flakes
350g (12.5 oz) Dried fruit/berries (Sultanas, dates, banana, apricots, blueberries, strawberries, ...)

Equipment:

Weighing scales
Fluid measuring jug/cup
Big mixing bowl spoon
Small saucepan
Cooking hob
Two deep baking trays (or large roasting tins)
Oven

Step 2: Prepare the Mix

Put all the oats, nuts, seeds and coconut into the mixing bowl.
Put the butter, maple syrup and honey into the small saucepan, heat gently and stir until combined.
Pour the mixture from the saucepan into the mixing bowl and mix well but gently.
When fully mixed spread the mixture out onto the two baking trays.

Step 3: Baking

Preheat the oven to 175 degrees celcius (350 fahrenheit).
Bake for 30 minutes removing every 10 minutes to toss the mixture.
When done leave the granola on the baking trays to cool down and dry out (about 1 hour).

Step 4: Add the Dried Fruit/berries and Store

Chop the larger pieces of dried fruit and berries until everything is roughly the same size.
Pour the granola back into your mixing bowl, (clean it first!), and then stir in the dried fruit/berries.
Store the granola in airtight containers such as glass jars with rubber seals on the lids.
