Apricot, Pistachio and Honey Granola
I absolutely love making homemade granola. It's simple and quick and super versatile. For this version I used honey, dried apricots and pistachios. What a delicious combination.

Ingredients
- 2 Cups Rolled Oats
- ½ Cup Pistachios (raw shelled)
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon Optional
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 1 Tbsp Brown sugar Optional (helps for crunch)
- ¼ Cup Honey
- 2 Tbsp Coconut or Vegetable Oil
- ½ Cup Dried Apricots (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 150°C and line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or baking paper
- Note: If using coconut oil, melt for a few seconds in the microwave oven to become liquid
- Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl (except for the dried apricots) and mix until evenly coated
- Note: The sugar helps make the granola crunchy rather than sticky. If using roasted pistachios, add then after baking
- Spread onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway. Baking time will depend on your oven and how crunchy you like your granola. Take care not to let the edges burn
- Tip: When stirring the granola, ensure that you move the outside to the centre and vice versa, so that it bakes evenly
- Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become more crunchy as it cools. Stir in the chopped dried apricots
- Store in an airtight container
