This is my go-to recipe for simple homemade granola. It's crunchy, golden, and easy to make - just mix everything in the Thermomix, then bake until perfectly crisp.
FEATURED REVIEW
I have been making granola in my Thermomix for over five years. I saw this recipe which was more direct and it is absolutely delicious.

This is a great base granola recipe that you can easily customise with different nuts, seeds, or dried fruit.

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.
