- 200 g rolled oats

- 5 Tbsp honey
- 4 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 75 g sunflower seeds

- 2 handful raisins

- Put 100g of rolled oats in a blender and grind them to flour.
- Mix together the rolled oats, oat flour plus honey and oil mix. Add seeds.
- Tip the granola onto a large baking tray lined with a baking sheet. Spread a little as you would do with the top of a crumble. You do not want it too thin.
