Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. In a large pan, heat the honey and oil together until bubbling, then tip in the oats, almonds and cinnamon. Stir well until the oats are well coated, then tip onto 1-2 large baking sheets, spreading the mixture out. Bake for 20-25 mins, stirring halfway, until golden.
- Remove from the oven and, while still hot, stir in the apricots. Spread out again and press down with a spatula to cool - this will help it to clump together. Once cool, serve with yogurt or milk, and fruit, if you like. Will keep in an airtight container for 3 weeks. See 'Goes well with' for recipes using your granola.

ALMOND-APRICOT GRANOLA BARS
Many granola bars are assumed to be healthy, but aren't. These are. A combination of granola, almonds, apricots and crisp brown rice, the recipe is wide open to interpretation as long as you keep the ratio of glue (the almond butter and honey mixture) to granola and mix-ins about the same. Mix everything together, press it into an oiled dish lined with plastic wrap, and throw it all in the fridge for an hour. These bars are more chewy than crunchy, and will fit well into a child's lunch bag or a grown-up's breakfast plate.

Steps:
- Put almond butter and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until they melt together; whisk to combine.
- Put the crispy cereal, granola, almonds, apricots and salt in a bowl and add the mixture of almond butter and honey; stir well to combine.
- Grease a 7- or 8-inch-square baking dish with a little oil and line it with plastic wrap. Spread the granola mixture evenly into the dish, pressing down gently, and cover with more plastic wrap; refrigerate until set, at least one hour. Once set, remove by lifting the edges of the plastic wrap out of the dish; peel off the plastic and cut the bars to any size you like.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use natural and organic ingredients whenever possible. Fresh, ripe fruits and nuts will yield the best flavor and texture.
- Toast the oats and nuts: Toasting enhances the flavor and aroma of the oats and nuts. Be sure to watch them closely so that they don't burn.
- Use a variety of sweeteners: Don't rely solely on sugar to sweeten your granola. Try using a combination of honey, maple syrup, and/or agave nectar for a more complex flavor.
- Add spices for extra flavor: A pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger can add a warm and inviting flavor to your granola.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Spread the granola out evenly on the baking sheet so that it cooks evenly. If the granola is too crowded, it will steam instead of toast.
- Let the granola cool completely before storing: This will help to prevent the granola from becoming soggy.
Conclusion:
Granola is a delicious and versatile breakfast cereal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a good source of fiber, protein, and healthy fats.
