Exquisite homemade Granola with a taste of ginger bread

To convince you all of the greatness of this granola I must tell you that it has had a permanent place on my breakfast table nearly every day since I first tasted it (Approx. 5 years ago).
A bowl of granola with soured milk and a whole wheat toast sandwich with butter, cheese and ketchup is you need to get a good start of the day!

















We usually make a double batch and then it´s still gone by the end of the week.

Ingredients:
(Double batch)
12 dl oatmeal (fiber)
1 dl pumpkin seeds
1 dl sunflower seeds
2 dl sesame seeds (peeled)
2 tbsp cinnamon powder
Approx. 1.5 tbsp ground ginger
Approx. 1.5 tbsp ground cloves
6 tbsp raw cane sugar
1 tsp salt
6 tbsp food oil
2 dl water

Directions:

  • Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly in a bowl (or a large pot).
  • Add oil and water while stirring so that it doesn´t become lumpy.
  • Pour the mixture into an oven pan.
  • Roast in the oven for approx. 45 minutes (I usually turn the oven off  after 45 minutes and leave the granola inside until the oven is cold).
  • Stir occasionally to prevent the granola from getting burned.
After the granola has cooled; store it dry in a jar with a lid.

Tips: Raisins and soured milk along with this is like icing on the cake!
