Nigellas Granola from Feast

Submitted by cakeinmyface

"i love granola but i have to change most recipes to suit my nut allergy, i cant eat nuts but i can eat seeds so i replace a lot of things with more seeds, chuck i whatver you ahve got that is avaiable i say! this makes quite a lot and it is half of the nigella recipe! i store it in old washed out coffee jars apparently you should store it in the fridge so that the oils in the seeds dont go rancid. to be honest it never ahngs around that long in our house. I dont half the ginger as i like the taste, i would say to alter the spices to taste. And if i am honest really honest i dont usually measure stuff out i guess, im very naughty heheh"

A very good granola, I make it for my husband and he declares this one first class. Easy to assemble, I was careful to keep an eye on it and it did cook quite quickly, I think possibly due to the golden syrup, I might reduce that a little next time. I didn't add the raisins in the end, lots of goodness in this and he generally has chopped fruit with his breakfast cereal anyway. He also has a healthy dollop of plain yoghurt and some milk for a good start to his day! Thanks, Barbie, enjoyed this one! Made for the Secret Ingredient Cookbook Tag!
