Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 100g panettone
- 200g rolled oats
- 50g pumpkin seeds
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 500g flaked almonds
- 100g dried berries, raisins or sultanas
- 50g dried cranberries
Wet Ingredients
- 50ml vegetable oil
- 50ml maple syrup
- 50ml honey
To Serve
- Milk or yogurt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven and baking tray: Preheat your oven to 160°C (140°C fan) or gas mark 3. Line a large baking tray with baking parchment unless you are using a non-stick tray, which doesn’t require lining.
- Process the panettone: Place the panettone pieces into a food processor and blitz until they become fine breadcrumbs. Transfer these breadcrumbs into a large mixing bowl.
- Combine dry ingredients: To the bowl with panettone breadcrumbs, add rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, ground cinnamon, and flaked almonds. Mix everything together evenly.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate container, combine the vegetable oil, maple syrup, and honey. Pour this mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly to ensure all the oats and nuts are fully coated.
- Bake the granola: Spread the coated mixture evenly across the prepared baking tray in a single layer. Place it in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to promote even browning. Stop baking once the granola turns golden.
- Cool the granola: Remove the tray from the oven and allow the granola to cool on the tray for 10 minutes.
- Add dried fruit: Once partially cooled, mix in the dried berries, raisins or sultanas, and dried cranberries thoroughly into the granola.
- Final cooling and storage: Leave the granola to cool completely. When cooled, store it in an airtight container where it will keep fresh for up to one month.
- Serve: Enjoy the panettone granola with your choice of milk or yogurt for a tasty and wholesome breakfast or snack.
