Print Recipe

Jamie Oliver Granola is an oven-baked mix of oats, nuts, seeds, oil, and natural sweeteners, gently toasted until golden. It focuses on balance—crunchy but not hard, sweet but not heavy, and versatile enough for everyday use.

Ingredients

Scale

    • 300 g rolled oats

    • 100 g mixed nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, or walnuts), roughly chopped

    • 50 g mixed seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, sesame)

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil

    • 4 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

    • Pinch of salt

    • 100 g dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, or apricots), added later

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper so the granola doesn’t stick and to make stirring easier.

Step 2: Mix the dry ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the oats, chopped nuts, seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well so everything is evenly distributed before adding liquids.

Step 3: Add oil and sweetener

Drizzle the oil and honey (or maple syrup) over the oat mixture. Stir thoroughly until all the oats and nuts are lightly coated. This helps everything toast evenly.

Step 4: Spread and bake

Spread the mixture out in an even layer on the baking tray. Bake for 20–25 minutes, stirring once or twice, until golden and lightly crisp.

Step 5: Cool and add dried fruit

Remove the tray from the oven and let the granola cool completely. Once cooled, stir in the dried fruit. This keeps the fruit soft and prevents burning.

Step 6: Store

Transfer the cooled granola to an airtight container. It will continue to crisp slightly as it cools.
