To begin with this recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook healthy? granola! using 6 ingredients and 12 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Healthy? Granola!:
- Make ready 2 cup rolled oats (cheap and cheerful is fine for this recipe)

Granola is usually considered a healthy breakfast cereal. It's a toasted mixture of rolled oats, nuts, and a sweetener like sugar or honey, though it can also include other grains, puffed rice,. A little crunchy, a little chewy, granola is a versatile food that deserves a spot in your week. Granola is perfect for breakfast either served alone, sprinkled over Greek yogurt, or eaten in a bowl with a splash of milk.
Instructions to make Healthy? Granola!:
- Preheat oven to 180º gas mark 4
- Using a medium sized pan - Melt butter, sugar and honey on a medium heat until bubbling but not browning
- Whilst waiting for the butter mix, chop the nectarine into small cubes
- Add oats to the pan and stir until covered
- Lightly stir in the nectarine pieces (you don't want them to get crushed)
- Pour all of it onto a baking sheet covered with greaseproof paper
- Spread out but don't crush it down too far as you want some larger lumps. Put in the oven on a middle shelf and bake for 20 minutes
- Remove from oven and allow to cool on the tray. Remove any bits that may have over-browned so far as to be one step away from blackened - these add a bitter edge, although the chickens love them!
- Transfer the baked oats and nectarine to a large bowl and add your dried fruit, nuts and seeds - you can also add some sugar at this stage if you've only used nuts or you like sweet things
- Your granola is now finished. Keep in an airtight container. You can make smaller quantities if you wish but I wouldn't advise making more as granola will only keep fresh a few days (especially if you're using fresh fruit)
- Have it as cereal with milk. Sprinkled on top of porridge or mixed with yoghurt and banana for a lovely healthy lunch.
- Lastly, leave out the fresh fruit add another ¼ cup butter, add plump dried fruits when the mix is still warm from the oven and press the mixture into a pie tin or a glass serving dish. Mix together an 8 oz pack of cream cheese, ¼ cup of sugar, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Spread on top of the pressed granola and put back into the oven for 12 minutes, remove, leave to cool then refrigerate for at least 2 hours - cut into squares or serve straight from dish - this is my higgledy piggledy cheesecake
