# Winter Granola Recipe


I've recently starting making my own Granola. It's really easy, much healthier than shop bought Granola (no added sugar!) and I can make it exactly how I want it.

My favourite at the moment is what I'm calling my "Winter Granola".

Based off [this recipe from Nics Nutrition](http://nicsnutrition.com/recipe/healthy-homemade-granola/), I used the following ingredients:

* 200g Tesco organic oats (the oats are bigger than their standard oats)
* 2 tbsp honey
* 1 tbsp vegetable oil
* A good sized handful of sunflower seeds
* 1 tbsp ground cinnamon (added before cooking)
* A few handfuls of raisins, [freeze dried diced apple](http://www.amazon.co.uk/Freeze-Dried-Diced-Apple-70g/dp/B00H84F7T0?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage) and [freeze dried sliced cherry](http://www.amazon.co.uk/Freeze-Dried-Sliced-Cherry-100g/dp/B00H7YV5RY?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage)

The freeze dried fruit from Amazon is a little expensive, but are the only ones I could find without added sugar, and they taste great. With the amount I am using they will probably last 4 or 5 bakes.
