Until today I thought my brother makes the best granola. He once told me how to, but mine wasn’t as good as his, so I left it and settled for shop bought, overly sweet Kellogs.

But lately, in the new book by Ula Pedantula called ” Kuchnia Pedantuli” I saw recipe for homemade granola, one that uses olive oil alongside honey (Mariusz only uses honey). We went to Ikea this morning, where I picked up a few bits to make the storage in my kitchen a bit better, then, in Esselunga I got what I needed to make the granola. I combined some oats, hazelnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds( a must, beautiful flavour when toasted!), sesame seeds, a heavy dusting of cinnamon ( of course) and then a good drizzle of olive oil and honey, enough to coat everything.

I baked the granola in 150 degrees, on a baking paper and tossed it every 10-15 minutes, until it was golden and smelled fantastic. It took about 45 minutes. I left it to cool completely, while still tossing and then transferred it to a sexy new jar I got from Lara last Thursday. Very much looking forward to having it tomorrow morning with yoghurt and fresh fruit.
