Jamie Oliver Granola Recipes

SUPER TOASTED GRANOLA WITH CHEWY FRUIT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 150ºC/300ºF/gas 2 and warm the honey through in a saucepan.
• Chop up the almonds then spread over a large baking tray with the oats, seeds and coconut.
• Pour over the warm honey and mix with a spoon, then pop in the oven for 20 minutes, stirring every so often.
• Meanwhile, destone the dates and chop up with the rest of the fruit.
• After 20 minutes, add all the fruit, stir once (try not to touch again until it is cool) and put it back in the oven for another 10 minutes. It should be clumping together nicely.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool before breaking it up and storing in jars or airtight containers for up to 1 month. Serve with yoghurt and fresh or poached seasonal fruit.

JOOLS' GORGEOUS GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 160ºC/325ºF/gas 3.
• Roughly chop the nuts and apricots, then place into a large bowl. Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix together.
• Drizzle over the maple syrup and finely grate over the orange zest, then stir well to coat everything.
• Spread out over a large baking tray in an even layer - split it between two, if it's easier.
• Pop into the hot oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until turning golden, stirring every 10 minutes or so to stop it from catching. Bear in mind that the granola will harden up and go crunchy as it cools, so don't be tempted to cook it for too long.
• Leave to cool completely, then tip into airtight storage jars and use as and when you need it - it will keep quite happily for up to 4 weeks.

JAMIE OLIVER GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350. Put your dry granola ingredients including coconut and cinnamon, except for the dried fruit on a sheet pan. Stir well and smooth out. Mix maple syrup, olive oil and vanilla in a small bowl. Drizzle over granola and stir.
• Place in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Stir every 5 minutes take the granola out, stir it, and then smooth it down with a wooden spoon and return to the oven. Be very careful not to burn it.
• While it is roasting chop up any large dried fruit. When the granola is nice and golden, remove it from the oven and add the dried fruit.
• Once it is cooled, store in sealed container. It will last up to 2 weeks.

CHEF JOHN'S CHOCOLATE GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Combine brown sugar, maple syrup, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, salt, cayenne pepper, and cocoa powder in a bowl. Whisk thoroughly. Add oats and almonds. Toss and smear the mixture together using a spatula until well coated. Spread mixture evenly over a silicone-lined baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Toss granola with a fork, breaking up any clumps to get a finer texture. Continue baking until desired texture is reached, 30 to 60 minutes more. Sprinkle some granola onto a plate; if it clinks, it is ready. Turn off the oven and leave granola inside the oven to dry and cool to room temperature.
