HOW TO MAKE

• Mix all the ingredients in a big bowl, until all the oats, seeds and nuts are properly mixed with the nut butter, the oil and the syrup.
• Taste as you go, so you can add a bit more sugar or raisins or nuts or whatever. Use your hands to knead it all into one big ball.
• Just remember to ensure that the oil is at room temperature and is liquid and that the nut butter is not too thick.
• Everything should be coated evenly.
• Break off little pieces from the giant granola ball, and place them on a baking tray that has been lined with parchment paper and properly oiled.
• Bake for 20 minutes on one side at 180 degrees, then turn over and bake for another 10 minutes, or until done.
• Let them cool, and as they do, they will become crisp.
• Eat them plain, or with chocolate syrup drizzled over or with milk.

Quick tip: You can easily make the nut butter at home by blending any nuts of your choice until they reach a coarse, buttery texture; the nuts have their own oils, so you do not need to add anything else. The nuts will first turn powdery, but don’t give up; after a few more minutes in the processor, they will naturally release their oils and become creamier. If you like, you may add sugar or salt for taste.
