Granola
Another way to use oats, which we love to eat at home, is to make granola. Granola is an inspiring recipe for using leftover nuts and dried fruits.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon, grounded
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup almonds, sliced
- 1 cup dried fruit, chopped
Method
- Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 150°C. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the oil, honey, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
- Go ahead and measure the oats and almonds right into the oil mixture — don’t worry if you add a little more oats or almonds — granola is very forgiving. Stir to coat well.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer. If the granola is clumpy, use a spatula to press it into the pan.
- Bake, stirring halfway through, for about 20 minutes total. The granola is ready when golden-brown and the almonds have toasted — it will still feel wet coming out of the oven but will dry as it cools.
