Crunchy Breakfast granola

Ingredients
                 450g porridge oats
                 200g barley flakes
                 200g wheat flakes
                 110g rye flakes

Any combination of flakes will do. If you can only get rye flakes then put in 500g of those.                
Mix all flakes togrther.

In a saucepan melt 350g honey or maple syrup and 225ml sunflower oil. Pour over flakes and mix well to coat all the mixture.

Spread over two lined swiss-roll tins. Bake 180deg. celsius for 20 mins. turning the mix after 10 mins to prevent the edges from burning.

When granola is baked add any choice of dried fruits or nuts e.g.
                            
                              150g raisins or sultanas
                              150g chopped nuts
                              25g sunflower seeds
                              50g chopped dried apricots
                              50g chopped dates
                               75g wheatgerm

Mix well. Eat it dry or with milk or on top of your morning porridge.
It's very good too as a midnight snack or when a sweet craving hits.
