Granola is a great way to clean out all the miscellaneous bags and jars and packets and bottles in the pantry. This (dairy-free, vegan and refined sugar free) recipe is a basic guide to making custom granola with whatever you have on hand. It's your granola after all.
Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F), line two rimmed oven trays with baking paper. Combine all dry stuff in a large bowl and mix.
In a jug combine oil, syrup, salt, nut butter (if using), spices and powders (if using) whisk well with a fork. If the syrup or butter is thick set the jug in a bowl of hot water for a few minutes to warm through then whisk again.
Pour wet mixture over dry and stir, stir, stir until everything is coated. Tip onto the prepared trays and spread into an even layer.
Bake 10 mins, stir gently to move edges into centre and centre out to edges. Bake a further 15 - 20 mins or so, stirring every 5 minutes, until evenly golden. Remove from oven, press granola down with a spatula to compress into clusters and allow to cool completely on trays. Store in an airtight container.
