I must get asked about Nonna's Special Granola recipe about 10 times a week. It's the best granola on earth 😍

The key to getting this granola nice and toasty is to spread it thinly over two trays when you cook it – you get that lovely crisp coconut that way.

It's delicious and a lovely recipe to make. Give it a go!

Method

Preheat the oven to 160°C. Combine the rolled oats, mixed seeds, pecan nuts and coconut chips in a large bowl. Stir together the apple sauce, coconut oil, honey and salt in a separate bowl, then pour over the dry ingredients and toss to coat.

Tip everything into a large roasting tray then pat down the ingredients to form an even layer. Bake for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp. Remove from the oven, stir through the raisins and apricots and leave to cool.

Serve each portion of granola with a portion of the yoghurt and store the rest in an airtight container.

Tips

This recipe makes multiple portions. Remember to split the total amount of granola and yoghurt by the number of servings. This will give you the weight of granola and yoghurt for each portion.

Kept in an airtight container, the granola will last up to 3 weeks.
