About this recipe
Crunchy Granola with your Thermomix TM7 is the homemade breakfast recipes game-changer every kitchen deserves. This all-in-one kitchen machine takes jumbo oats, spelt flakes, desiccated coconut, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, linseeds and mixed nuts, and transforms them into golden, crunchy clusters far tastier than anything from a shop shelf. Preparing granola in the TM7 means precise weighing straight into the mixing bowl, even coating of every oat with warm honey or oil, and controlled heating that toasts the seeds gently without a single burnt batch. The raisins are stirred in at the end so they stay plump and chewy rather than drying out. Serve this granola over Greek yogurt at breakfast, sprinkle it over a fruit bowl, or pack it into lunchboxes as an afternoon snack. It stores beautifully in an airtight jar for weeks, making it the ultimate meal prep staple for busy households that still want a wholesome, preservative-free start to the day.
Preparation tips
- Toast the mixed nuts and seeds before combining them with the jumbo oats, as this deepens the nutty flavour of the granola and gives the clusters a richer, more aromatic crunch.
- Stir the raisins through the granola only after it has cooled completely on the baking tray, otherwise the residual heat makes them tough and they lose their lovely chewy texture.
- Store the cooled granola in a large airtight jar and give it a gentle shake every few days; adding a slice of apple bread keeps the mixture crisp in humid kitchens.
Recipe variations
- Gluten-free granola: replace the jumbo oats, spelt flakes and wheat germ with certified gluten-free oats and buckwheat flakes, keeping the same ratio of seeds and mixed nuts for identical crunchy clusters.
- Festive winter variation: add a spoonful of cinnamon, a pinch of ground cloves and a handful of dried cranberries instead of raisins for a seasonal granola that smells like Christmas morning.
