Granola is also known as toasted muesli.

I use 120 grams per breakfast with ¼ cup full cream powdered milk (pre-packaged at home).

  • ½ cup oil (use something with a neutral taste)
  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • ¼ cup milk powder
  • 1 tablespoon orange or lemon peel, grated
  • 1 cup bran
  • 5 cups rolled oats
  • 2 cups rolled wheat
  • 2 cups rolled triticale
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 2 cups raisins or sultanas (I use raisins)
  • 1 cup each, cashews, almonds, pitted dates, sunflower seeds

Heat oil, honey, and syrup in a pot until thin. Remove from heat, add to a large bowl, and then add the remaining ingredients in the order given, except the fruit, nuts, and seeds. Stir well after each addition. Spread on appropriately sized, ungreased, baking trays and cook at 120 degrees C (fan-forced oven) for 1½  to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Cool. Stir in remaining ingredients. Store in an airtight container.
