Method:
Line a roasting tin with baking paper.
Preheat oven to 140 ̊C/275 ̊F.
Mix all of the ingredients together, except for the dried cranberries.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Gently shake the tin or mix the granola using a spoon.
Bake for a further 5-10 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Check the pecans regularly during cooking time, to ensure they do not over brown.
Remove them from the tin using tongs, if they are cooked before the rest of the granola.
Leave the granola to cool in the tin.
Stir in the cranberries.
Serve.
Serving suggestion: Use as a yoghurt topping or enjoy with a splash of cold milk.
