Date and Nut Granola

Ingredients

  • 7 cups rolled oats
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 200 g butter
  • 1 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup almonds chopped
  • 1 cup pecans chopped
  • 1 1/2 cup pitted and chopped dates

Instructions

  • Place your oats and chia seeds into a large bowl.
  • Place the butter into a microwave bowl and heat for 30 seconds at a time until melted.
  • Pour the butter and buttermilk into the oat and chia bowl.
  • Give the mixture a good stir.
  • Let soal for 20-30minutes.
  • Once soaked, add in sugar and give it a good mix.
  • Leave the mixture for 30 minutes to allow the sugar to dissolve.
  • Once 15-20 minutes have passed, line 2 baking trays/sheets with baking paper and preheat your oven to 150c.
  • Split the oat mixture into 2 trays and place in the heated oven.
  • Check the muesli every 30 minutes.
  • When checking the muesli, remove from the oven.
  • With 2 forks gently move the muesli around so it cooks evenly.
  • The muesli will be done after about 2 hours or when all the clusters are golden and crunchy.
  • Once the muesli has been removed from the oven, put your pecans and almonds in an oven tray and place them in the oven at 180c.
  • Bake the nuts for about 10 minutes or until starting to go golden.
  • Mix the toasted nuts and dates into the muesli. Give it all a good mix and leave to cool.
