This is a wonderfully simple recipe for homemade crunchy Thermomix Granola. With just a few steps, you can create a delicious batch. Simply mix everything in the Thermomix, then toast for half an hour until crunchy.
While there are countless granola recipes, this one stands out for its simplicity and versatility. It's made with oats, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, raisins, maple syrup for sweetness, cinnamon for spice, and coconut oil for a lovely crunch.
While the supermarket cereal aisle may tempt you with various granola boxes, it's important to remember that many come loaded with added sugar and a hefty price tag. On the other hand, this homemade recipe offers a delicious taste and some health benefits compared to the refined alternatives. So you can enjoy your granola guilt-free!

Yeo says
Can I use peanut butter instead of oil also how can I make it(stick them tgt)into bars? Thanks
Vicki says
Hi Yeo, I'm afraid I have not tried using peanut butter instead of oil so I'm unsure if it will work or not. Vicki
Angela Heess says
I use butter instead of coconut oil, and instead of the seeds I add 60g of cashews, 60g of macadamias and 70g of peanuts when the maple syrup and spices are added. This chops them up and it’s ready to add the oats and I use dried chopped mixed fruit 🙂
Delicious recipe! Thank you 💗

Kerry Boytell says
Can I use olive oil or grape seed oil?
Vicki says
Grape seed oil has a very mild flavour so should be ok to use in the granola without affecting the taste.
I probably wouldn't use olive oil as it's quite strong and the flavour could come through in the granola.
