Method

  • Preheat oven to 160°C/300°F/Gas 2. Line 2 baking trays with non-stick parchment paper.
  • Put the oats into a large bowl, whisk together the apple juice, honey and oil, then pour over the oats and mix well. Fold in the nuts, seeds and spices. Divide the mixture equally between the 2 baking trays and spread it across the sheets.
  • Bake the granola until crisp and golden brown, for about 1 hour, turning the mixture over half way. Remove the baking trays from the oven and transfer to a large bowl. Cool the granola completely and then add the raisins, cranberries and bananas.
  • Store in an airtight container in a dry place. Do not refrigerate
