Homemade Granola Recipe

Serving suggestion here.

Ingredients:
300g oats
150g mixed seeds (I used the Omega Sprinkle from Holland and Barrett)
50g flaked almonds
50g coconut flakes
50g raisins
2 tbs honey
100ml maple syrup
1sp vanilla extract

Method:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 150C/ gas mark 2.
2. Mix all the ingredients (except the coconut and dried fruit) in a large bowl.
3. Tip the granola mix onto a baking sheet (you may need more than one) and spread evenly.
4. Bake for 10/15 minutes. 
5. Add the coconut and dried fruit. Bake for a further 10/15 minutes.


Serve with milk or yogurt. 
Can be stored in an airtight container for up to a month. 


Note: this recipe can be altered however you like. Add more fruit, less seeds/nuts. Whatever you prefer.

Honest Burger

This week my sister and I decided to try out Honest Burger to celebrate the end of exams. I really enjoyed my food and would highly recommend trying it out.

I had the Chicken burger which has chicken, lettuce, tomato and mustard mayonnaise in it and is served with chips. 

My sister had the vegetarian option which was a fritter consisting of cauliflower, sweetcorn, shallots, spices, coriander and cucumber yoghurt. 

We also got a homemade lemonade each which was brilliant. I loved the way it was served in a mason jar with a stripped paper straw.

Neither of us could finish all of our food and waddled out completely stuffed, but we both loved it and will definitely be going back. 

At the moment there are only restaurants in London located in Brixton, Soho, Camden, Portobello, Kings Cross and Oxford Circus.

Have any of you tried Honest Burger? Do you have any other recommendations for other burger places to visit?
