It took me ages to actually start making home-made granola (basically toasted muesli) because it seemed such a palarva getting all the ingredients necessary to make it. But actually it's really versatile and you can change grains, nuts and fruits according to what you have handy. Also it keeps well in an air tight container for weeks. So lots of healthy breakfasts in store once you do get round to making it. Delicious with yoghurt, kefir, soy milk or normal milk.

Lightly grease your oven tray and fill with the granola. Smooth over with your hands so there are no gaps

Alicante, Spain

Born in the UK, I came to Spain after graduating many moons and meals ago, and I'm still here. For me cooking is a great way to unwind at the end of the day. My recipes tend to be quite quick and simple and (mostly!!) healthy too. Also quite seasonal - I prefer buying fresh local produce as much as possible. When I have time, I love spending a few hours cooking, filling my kitchen with delicious smells and great music and then hosting family and friends for long happy meals, laughs, conversation and chilled white wine. I'm a great believer in the power and value of home cooking for our own health, happiness and wellbeing and those of our loved ones and since I joined the Cookpad team 11 years ago I am committed to helping to make everyday cooking more fun for people all over the World.
