No Added Sugar Granola, a fantastic homemade recipe that is healthy and full of goodness. My granola is made with lots of nuts, seeds and dried fruit, and it's deliciously crunchy and perfect for a healthy breakfast.

Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup chopped nuts ( I used walnuts, hazelnuts and cashew nuts)
- ¼ cup dried fruit ( I used raisins and goji berries)
- ¼ cup seeds (I used sunflower and pumpkin seeds)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius (320 Fahrenheit, 140 fan oven).
- In a mixing bowl, add the oats, honey, oil, seeds and nuts and mix well.
- Transfer the mixture to a non-stick baking tray and arrange it in one single layer.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then add the dried fruit, give everything a good stir, and bake again for a further 10 minutes.
- Remove the mixture from the oven and leave it to cool down completely to crisp up before adding it to an air-tight container.

Notes
- I do not recommend adding the dried fruit right from the beginning, as even on a low heat, they tend to burn easily and become bitter. I find that they work best if they are added towards the end, or even as soon as the granola comes out of the oven.
- Do not be tempted to increase the oven temperature at any point, as this will make the granola burn or turn way too crunchy - we want the good kind of crunch!
