SAVORY NUT AND SEED GRANOLA
Who says granola has to be sweet? I decided to skip the fruit and add some herbs and spices and was very pleased with the results! I'd recommend serving it as I did - over plain yogurt, with a drizzle of olive oil, and some chopped cucumber. Yum!

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan gas 4. Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment to prevent the granola from sticking. Put all of the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together the almond extract, vegetable oil and maple syrup in a jug, then pour into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
- Mix together well, making sure that all the dry ingredients are well coated and that there are no dry bits. Tip the mixture onto the lined baking sheet and spread out in an even layer. Cook for about 25-30 mins until golden. You will need to give the mixture a few turns every 8-10 mins to make sure it dries out evenly and doesn't clump together too much. Keep an eye on it as nuts can burn easily.
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely on the tray. Break up any large clumps of granola with a wooden spoon. Will keep for up to one month in an airtight container. Serve with milk or yogurt, and fresh seasonal fruit, if you like.

Tips:
- Choose a variety of nuts and seeds: Different nuts and seeds offer unique flavors and textures. Experiment with a mix of almonds, walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, and flax seeds.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh nuts and seeds will have a better flavor and texture than stale ones. Look for organic, non-GMO ingredients whenever possible.
- Toast the nuts and seeds: Toasting nuts and seeds enhances their flavor and makes them more crunchy. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Add spices and flavorings: A sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, or vanilla extract can add a warm, inviting flavor to your granola. You can also add dried fruits, such as raisins, cranberries, or cherries, for a sweet and tangy twist.
- Use a combination of sweeteners: A blend of honey, maple syrup, and coconut sugar provides a rich, complex sweetness. You can also use stevia or another natural sweetener if you prefer.
- Bake the granola at a low temperature: Low and slow baking helps to prevent the granola from burning. Bake it at 300°F for 30-45 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes.
- Cool the granola completely before storing it: This will help to prevent the granola from clumping together. Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
With its combination of crunchy nuts and seeds, sweet and tangy dried fruits, and warm, inviting spices, this savory nut and seed granola is a delicious and nutritious snack or breakfast option. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Enjoy it on its own, with yogurt or milk, or sprinkled on top of oatmeal or smoothies.
