An experiment in DIY healthy which turned out very well indeed!

I ‘fried’ old fashioned oats in just enough coconut oil (I used a mug of oats and a tablespoon of oil) until they started to toast – a good 5 minutes of stirring – then added in a spoon of honey.

Once it was well mixed, I turned off the heat and stirred through some shredded coconut, chopped walnuts and almonds, some seeds and some chopped dates.

Various recipes suggested a little salt, olive oil rather than coconut and all sorts of variation on the fruit, seed, nuts but this seems like a free and easy way to make your own version of granola.

Once cooled, store in a jar or tin well out of sight or you will snack and graze through it too quickly.
