When looking at what to include in my Christmas Class menu I knew I had to offer a "granola" ... I already have a recipe ( see here ) but wanted it to be more festive and this is the end result. This also is a great gift any time of the year, but at Christmas it is even more special for people to enjoy on the morning of the big day. Although there is the inclusion of a "chocolately" flavour in this recipe, it is not too sweet, and is a perfect topping for a little yoghurt if you are searching for something after dinner when you just "have to have something". This is now my "go to" recipe for Granola ... it may seem like a lot of ingredients, but once you make it there is enough for 36 portions (if using 50g per portion) so plenty to keep everyone happy for a while. Use whatever combination of nuts and dried fruit you like … it is a good way to use up little bits and pieces if you have any. Just stick to the weights given as you know the TM can cope with it (this recipe has been tested in a TM31, so may be able to manage a slighter heavier load in the TM5 but this has not been tested by me). I love lots of nuts, so I add another 100g each of almonds, walnuts and brazil nuts before the initial bake of 12 minutes, but this is totally optional. I add them before baking so they are whole and not broken up by the initial milling. Have everything at room temperature before starting, otherwise coldness from the fridge will "set the honey" during the heating/mixing process making it more difficult to evenly coat the granola (this is when you may get a chunk of honey within the mix instead of being incorporated throughout the mix). Mix will keep at least 4 weeks in the pantry … if not eaten beforehand!
