This healthy homemade granola is the perfect way to start your day. Sweetened only with orange juice and a little honey, it is much lower in sugar than most other breakfast cereals ensuring you have plenty of energy for the morning without any nasty blood sugar spikes.


Ingredients

8-10 perfectly ripe apricots

5 cups porridge oats
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup pumpkin seeds
1 cup coconut threads
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup honey

Method

Stone the apricots and turn out the apricot so that the flesh pops out.
Place in the Ezidri dehydrator at 55ºC for 16 hours.
To make the granola, mix all the ingredients, except the orange juice and honey, in a large bowl. Heat up the orange juice in a small pot and add the honey to melt. Pour the orange juice/honey mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well.
You can either dehydrate the granola using the Ezidri dehydrator at 70ºC for 6 hours, or alternatively, you can gently toast the granola in the oven at 150ºC for 20-30 minutes, until golden.
When the Apricots have dried, but are still slightly pliable, cut into small pieces and mix with the granola.
Keep the granola in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
