Gray Day Granola

April is a funny month weather wise. In the northern hemisphere it seems to always want to give you a taste of spring before turing 180degrees and showing you the cold shoulder. Almost literally…I think Mallorca is actually colder now than its’s been all winter. The grey weather continues and I’m seizing the indoor-day to make granola.

Here’s the ingredients:

• 500g Rye flakes
• 300ml Shredded coconut
• 200ml Pistachios
• 150ml Medjool date syrup (or honey or maple syrup if no date syrup around) (add more if you want more granola ”clumps” and sweetness
• 100ml Sunflower seeds
• 100ml Pumpkin seeds
• 100ml Flax seeds
• 100ml Sesame seeds
• 200ml Cashews, or any other nuts
• 150m Apple juice home made or the organic cloudy type from the shop
• Salt 
• Back pepper
• Loads of cardamom
• 15 Dates, pitted and chopped
• A handful Sultanas or any other dried fruit like ginger, papaya, banana

Here’s the method:

• Put the oven on 140.
• Mix all the dry ingredients, except the two last, in a bowl
• Add syrup and apple juice, mix well
• Spread on baking paper lined oven trays
• Roast till golden and completely dry, stir now and then. Also open the hatch slightly in between to let out moisture. Total time about 20min
• Let cool down and add the dried fruit
• Store in an air tight container.

Enjoy!
