Cranberry, Maple, Pecan, Wild Oat Granola
The original Granuesli recipe right here right now, very retro, very 2009 but updated. We are so woke!
Muesli, Granola, Floor Sweepings, Cereal, Crumble...the names go on. This recipe first appeared in 2009 on here but we updated it and called it Graneusli for inclusion in For Foods Sake, still my favourite child as it was my first cookbook ever and still in print and available for the best price ever.
Anyhoo, this barely uses a Thermomix, but is still delicious and can be made vegan entirely if you sub in EVOO for the butter. You will be just as delighted. It's all about the vanilla in this one. Don't skimp!
I have so many granola type cereal recipes on my site, don't overlook any of the following:

Meanwhile, spread nuts and seeds onto large flat tray and toast in 200°C oven for about 10-12 minutes until crunchy. Set aside to cool slightly.
- 3
Spread oats onto tray and drizzle with butter mixture. Stir and mix by hand until evenly distributed. Reduce oven temperature to 160°C. Cook oats for around 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure edges are not overdone. Leave in the turned off oven until completely cool.
