Crunchy Granola

Ingredients

1/3 cup rice bran oil
3 tbsps CSR Golden Syrup
½ cup (100g) CSR Brown Sugar, firmly packed
2½ cups (225g) rolled oats
½ cup whole almonds
2 tbsps sesame seeds
1/3 cup dried apricots, chopped
1/3 cup craisins (dried cranberries)

Method

Preheat the oven to 160°C conventional (140°C fan forced).
Line a 26cm x 18cm slice pan with baking paper.
Combine oil, golden syrup and brown sugar in a small saucepan and stir over a medium heat until combined. Pour over oats, almonds and sesame seeds and toss until coated.
Press mixture into prepared pan and bake for 30 mins. Stir occasionally.
Turn onto large oven tray and bake a further 20 mins or until golden brown. Oats will still feel soft while mixture is hot, but will become crisp when cold.
Break up granola and mix through dried apricots and craisins. Store in airtight container or serve with fresh yoghurt, berries and milk.

Brown Sugar

Ingredients: cane sugar, sugar syrups

This popular sugar is used in many recipes, both savoury and sweet. A concentration of natural syrups gives it a soft natural caramel colour and aroma. Thanks to its delicious smooth caramel taste, it is often used in dessert recipes and sprinkled on porridge. CSR Brown Sugar is also ideal for adding sweetness to savoury dishes such as stir frys and sauces.

Original Golden Syrup

Ingredients: cane sugar, water

CSR Original Golden Syrup is a liquid gold.

The rich, dark blend of cane syrups combine to produce the traditional and distinctive flavour for which CSR is famous.

The perfect baking ingredient for adding moisture, colour and flavour. Gingernuts, Brandy Snaps and Anzac Biscuits are just a few examples of how golden syrup can be used to produce a deliciously rich, chewy result, making it a favourite with Australian families for generations.

CSR Original Golden Syrup is available in an easy-to-use jar, which features a screw top lid, making it easy to hold and convenient to store.
