Mixed Berry Granola Crunch Food

CRUNCHY GRANOLA WITH BERRIES & CHERRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190C/Gas 5/fan oven 170C. Halve some of the pecans, leave some whole. Mix with peanuts, oats, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. In a jug, measure the oil and pour into the mixture, then measure the honey - it will slide out easily. Stir together with a fork to break up any big clumps of oats.
• Pour on to a large baking tray with sides, preferably non-stick, in a thin layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring well at least twice and bringing the mixture in from the edges, until it is golden. Transfer to a large bowl and leave to cool.
• Mix in the berries and cherries and serve with plenty of chilled milk.
• Store for up to 1 month in airtight container.
