• 120 grams white sesame seeds
• 175 grams apple sauce (or apple compote)
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 120 grams of brown rice syrup (or rice malt syrup, or failing that golden syrup)

How To Make Andy’s Fairfield Granola?

1. Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine everything except the raisins. Use rigid spatulas for mixing, or your hands if you’re up for a mess.
2. Prepare for Baking: Spread the granola mixture evenly over two baking trays (standard oven size).
3. Bake the Granola: Preheat the oven to 170°C or 325°F. Bake for about 40 minutes, turning halfway through and redistributing the granola to ensure even baking without over-browning.
4. Cool and Mix with Raisins: Once golden and crisp, remove the granola from the oven and let it cool. After cooling, mix it with the raisins.
5. Store: Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature.

Recipe Tips:

• Mix Ingredients Well: Make sure all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed before baking. This ensures an even spread of flavors throughout the granola.
• Use Two Baking Trays: Spreading the granola across two trays helps it bake more evenly and prevents overcrowding, which can lead to uneven cooking.
• Stir Halfway Through: Turning the granola halfway through baking helps it cook evenly and avoids burning in spots.
• Check for Golden Color: Granola can go from golden to burnt quickly, so keep an eye on it, especially in the last 10 minutes of baking.
• Cool Completely Before Storing: Allow the granola to cool fully before storing it in an airtight container. This helps it stay crunchy for longer.

How To Store Leftovers?

Let the granola cool down to room temperature, then store it in an airtight container. It will stay fresh for up to two weeks at room temperature.
