Cranberry, Maple, Pecan, Wild Oat Granola
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!
