Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 100g panettone
  • 200g rolled oats
  • 50g pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 500g flaked almonds
  • 100g dried berries, raisins or sultanas
  • 50g dried cranberries

Wet Ingredients

  • 50ml vegetable oil
  • 50ml maple syrup
  • 50ml honey

To Serve

  • Milk or yogurt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare tray: Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and line a large baking tray with baking parchment (omit lining if using a non-stick tray).
  2. Process panettone: Place the panettone in a food processor and blitz until it turns into fine breadcrumbs, then transfer into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Combine dry mix: Add rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, ground cinnamon, and flaked almonds to the bowl with panettone breadcrumbs, stirring gently to combine.
  4. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate container, combine vegetable oil, maple syrup, and honey until well blended.
  5. Coat the oats: Pour the wet mixture over the oat and nut mixture, stirring thoroughly to ensure all the oats are evenly coated.
  6. Spread and bake: Transfer the mixture onto the lined baking tray and spread out into a single, even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to promote even browning and prevent burning, until the granola is golden.
  7. Cool and add dried fruit: Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking tray for 10 minutes. Once warm, stir in the dried berries, raisins or sultanas, and dried cranberries.
  8. Final cooling and storage: Let the granola cool completely on the tray. Store it in an airtight container for up to a month.
  9. Serving suggestion: Serve the panettone granola with milk or yogurt as a tasty breakfast or snack.

Notes

  • You can substitute dried berries with your favorite dried fruit such as chopped dates or apricots.
  • Stirring during baking is essential to ensure even toasting and prevent burning.
  • Use a non-stick baking tray to avoid needing baking parchment.
  • Store the granola in a sealed container to maintain crunchiness.
  • Feel free to adjust sweetness by varying maple syrup and honey quantities.
