Homemade maple granola recipe - extra healthy made with maple syrup, oats, nuts, seeds and dried fruits. Naturally sweet enough, there's no need for any added sugar.
Measure all the ingredients (except the almonds and dried fruits) in a large bowl and stir to mix them all well together.
Cover a baking tray with baking paper (or use a silicone mat) and spread out the oat mixture evenly.
Bake in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, turn over the mixture and sprinkle on the slivered almonds. Bake for a further 10-15 minutes, depending on how toasted you like your granola.Leave to cool then add the dried fruits.
