Dry Ingredients
- 100g panettone
- 200g rolled oats
- 50g pumpkin seeds
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 500g flaked almonds
- 100g dried berries, raisins or sultanas
- 50g dried cranberries
Wet Ingredients
- 50ml vegetable oil
- 50ml maple syrup
- 50ml honey
To Serve
- Prepare the oven and tray: Preheat the oven to 160C (140C fan) or gas mark 3. Line a large baking tray with baking parchment unless you are using a non-stick tray.
- Process the panettone: Place the panettone in a food processor and blitz until it turns into fine breadcrumbs. Transfer these breadcrumbs to a large mixing bowl.
- Combine dry ingredients: Add rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, ground cinnamon, and flaked almonds to the bowl with the panettone breadcrumbs. Stir gently to mix evenly.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine vegetable oil, maple syrup, and honey. Mix well to integrate all liquids.
- Coat dry mixture: Pour the wet ingredient mixture over the oat mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure all the oats and nuts are well coated with the syrup and oil.
- Bake the granola: Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking tray in a single layer. Bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to promote even browning and prevent burning. Bake until the granola is golden brown.
- Cool the granola: Remove the baking tray from the oven and allow the granola to cool on the tray for 10 minutes.
- Add dried fruit: Mix in the dried berries, raisins or sultanas, and dried cranberries while the granola is still slightly warm.
- Final cooling and storage: Let the granola cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It keeps fresh for up to a month.
- Serve: Enjoy the panettone granola with your choice of milk or yogurt for a delicious breakfast or snack.
