A Collection of Healthy Recipes Created by Jamie Oliver Granola is a great way of enjoying all different types of dried fruits, nuts, and seeds that you might not otherwise eat in your diet. Because of the variety of ingredients, it has a great texture and it’s so tasty, especially GRANOLA with the hit of cinnamon. Just a little in the morning is all you need with cold milk or a dollop of natural yogurt and some fresh fruit on the side. Jamie’s Top Tips • Because of the oils in the seeds and nuts, you’ll have to keep a close eye on the granola and stir it regularly to keep it from burning in spots. • Granola is expensive to buy but it’s really easy to make and much cheaper! You also get to play around with the combinations of nuts, seeds, and fruit so you can change up your granola from batch to batch to keep things interesting. • Granola doesn’t have to be just for breakfast, it’s great for snacking, or sprinkling over fruit salads. What I love to do is spear a bit of fruit on a fork, dip it in some yogurt and then dip it into some granola. The kids love it. • You can keep any leftover granola in an airtight container for about 2 weeks, but it’s so delicious I’ll be surprised if it lasts that long!
