I’m a massive fan of making my own granola. Most Sundays I make a big batch ready for the week ahead (that’s about the only thing that I’m organised with!!). And this Thermomix Apricot & Chia Granola is an absolute fave at our house.

Homemade baked granola will last up to a month when stored in an airtight container in the fridge. But honestly, a batch like this doesn’t even last a week in our house!

You can serve this with some greek yogurt and fresh berries, or add a little milk and sliced banana. Sometimes, I like to just nibble on it during the afternoons (when I’m trying really, really hard to avoid the temptation of a chocolate frog!). You can mix and match with any fruit and nuts you like – I really love pecans and almonds in this particular recipe as they go so well with the dried apricots – but it’s totally up to you!
Enjoy!
