In this latest recipe in my slow cooker collection, I thought it might be a nice idea to give you an easy and cost effective option for breakfast. Why oh why is shop bought granola so expensive?! This slow cooker version costs just £0.19 per portion (at the time of writing). This healthy Granola recipe will stop you reaching for the convenience in the morning. It’s made with a few simple ingredients and can be made in one slow cooker batch, ready for the week or weekend ahead. I think the whole family will love the oaty, nutty, fruity, crunchy taste. You can zhuzh it up a bit by adding your own toppings or extras, or you could even package it up in pretty cellophane or a brown paper bag as a nice homemade gift for someone. ✅ Easy five-ingredient recipe ✅ Batch-make ahead for the whole week ✅ Healthy and delicious breakfast bowl The Morphy Richards Sear & Stew Slow Cooker is my all-time favourite because you can use it for initial browning on the hob and it’s really light. For induction hobs, I recommend the Lakeland Digital 6.5l Slow Cooker instead. I also have to tell you about this Tp Link Tapo Smart Plug, which allows you to switch the slow cooker from your phone while you’re out! The slow cooker I’ve recommended is a non-stick pan, but if yours isn’t non-stick, you will need to spray or brush it really well with oil before you pour in the granola. I used a general mixed pack of dried fruit and nuts, which worked very well, but you can use whichever combination you fancy. Mine had coconut in too, which tasted so good and gave it a lovely ‘bite’. This recipe makes about eight portions (50g each), but you could always double the ingredients to make an extra batch for the cupboard. (It may take slightly longer to cook.) This recipe is so versatile that you can have it with a lot of things and have different breakfasts each day. I love it on its own with milk or mixed with some Greek yoghurt and fresh berries on top. You can even make it into Granola Bars!
