Method
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas mark 4. Line a medium baking tray with parchment paper.
-
Pour the oil, syrup and orange zest into a large bowl and mix together. Add the oats, almonds, seeds, cinnamon and dried apricots and toss until combined and coated in the syrup.
-
Pile into the baking tray and press down gently with the back of a spoon – you want to pack the tray quite tightly so that it sticks together – this will help make it more “granola” like.
-
Place in the oven for 30 minutes until golden brown and just crispy.
-
Leave to cool totally before breaking up into pieces. Store in an airtight container if not using straightaway.
-
Divide between serving bowls and top with a dollop of yoghurt and some mixed berries.
