Granola with Honey Recipe
We were delighted to collaborate with our friends at Shipton Mill, the home of regenerative Organic Flour, for this delicious new Granola with Honey recipe.
Based in Tetbury, Shipton Mill are located just a few miles from our Cotswolds beekeeping base, this made for the perfect pairing, with our locally produced, golden British summer Cotswold Honey.
Shipton Mill was started in 1979 to mill flours from the most fantastic grains, working with like-minded farmers who promote biodiversity and who value and seek to look after the soil. Farmers whose grains speak of the soil and climate they were grown in, and a particular place and time. Shipton Mill then capture and distil these flavours from the grain into flour through their precise and expert milling processes.
For this recipe, organic jumbo oats, buckwheat flakes and rice flakes are coated in our golden Cotswold honey and olive oil, with added natural sweetness from vanilla seeds.
This delicious morning granola is the perfect start to your day. Serve with yoghurt and fresh fruit or compote. Makes approximately 20 servings.
Granola with Honey Recipe
Ingredients:
125g almonds
125g pecans
115g sunflower seeds
115g pumpkin seeds
80g rice flakes
80g buckwheat flakes
300g jumbo oats
7g sea salt flakes
210g runny honey
100g olive oil
1 vanilla pod, seeds removed
Method:
Preheat oven to 160C and line two large trays with baking parchment. (You can do it all on one tray if easier / don’t have oven space – the thinner the layers the crisper it will get, or you can do one large thicker layer which creates a softer texture that will still firm up as it cools).
Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Heat the olive oil and honey in a small saucepan until lightly bubbling. Add the vanilla pod seeds. Stir the liquid through the dry ingredients to combine thoroughly (add the vanilla pod shell too for extra flavour if you like).
Pour out the granola mix onto the tray/s and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden – stir every 10 minutes, turning the granola keep the colour even.
Leave to cool thoroughly on the tray. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Enjoy!
