Tools

What we need to make

Blender / Mixer – my Bimby
Bowl
Parchment paper
Baking tray
Oven
Spatula

Preparation

To make

Remove the pit from the dates or dried apricots and place them in the bowl of your mixer.
Add also the peeled and chopped apple, water, oil and blend everything.
A creamy mixture will form which will serve as a binder for the Granola.
If using the Bimby, 2 min. speed 10
In a bowl, pour the rolled oats and coarsely chopped dried fruit.
Also add the ground cinnamon and mix.
Now add the date cream and mix everything, blending uniformly.
Take a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spread the Granola evenly over the entire surface of the tray, pressing it down well with a spatula, as if you were making nougat,
Turn on the oven to 356°F fan, and bake the Granola for 25 minutes, and as soon as it turns brown, turn off the oven and let it cool.
Now it’s my absolute favorite moment: “crunching it”, breaking it into pieces.
Prepare a jar with an airtight seal, and store it for about 1 week.
