My last meal would be granola, fruit and yoghurt with a skinny latte! How lame is that!?! Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day....porridge, muesli, weetbix...... Again, with many of the cereals you buy off the supermarket shelf, you really don't know what's in it.
This is my granola recipe, amazingly made in the microwave. I know what's in it and couldn't be better for you in terms of good carbohydrates. Recommended serving size 50g.
50g honey
150g rolled oats
25g whole almonds
25g pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
25g sunflower seeds
25g currants
1 tsp mixed spice
Measure the honey into a Pyrex bowl and heat in the microwave for about 1 min on a medium heat.
Measure the rest of the ingredients on top of the honey and stir together. Put into the microwave for about 3 mins. Take out and stir. Repeat again with the cooking and stirring. It will probably need one more turn in the microwave (total of 3 times). Bear in mind that it cooks more against the glass of the bowl and you don't want to burn it. It should be golden brown and smell good!!
Turn out onto some baking paper to cool.
If you want to cook this in the oven, it's easy too. Warm the honey on the stove and pour over the dry ingredients; stir to combine. Bake on baking paper on a tray in a 160 degree oven for about 20 mins, stirring after 10 mins.
Sprinkle over fruit salad and yoghurt.
