o make enough for one roasting tin, this recipe is a half-measure of what I usually cook (I double this recipe, since I can fit two roasting tins in my oven -- it's American, so it's wider!)

About 1.5 lbs of rolled oats (NOT quick oats)

About one cup of half vegetable oil half water, mixed

About a half cup of brown sugar

A handful or two of sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds -- as desired

Dried fruit as desired

Mix the brown sugar and the rolled oats together, and add in any seeds that need toasting.  Pour the mixed water/oil on slowly, mixing well, so that everything is coated and damp, but not soggy and no puddles in the pan.  Add more liquid if necessary, hold some back if things look good and damp.

Roast in the oven at about 160 C for about an hour, stirring every 20 mins or so, because the brown sugar will stick to the pan and burn if not turned over frequently.  When it seems good and toasted, and feels dry when you turn it over, just turn the oven off and let it cool down in the oven.  When the pan is cold, add in any raisins or dried fruit you like -- if you add them in any sooner they will get too hard and dry from the heat.

This granola is great on its own, with yoghurt, with any other cereal, as part of a trail mix, or to make granola bars (that's another recipe, if you want it!).   Good luck.
