Mix the flakes, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds in a large bowl. Season with cinnamon, ginger and salt and mix again. Roughly chop the dried fruit and add (depending on your taste it can of course be more than 1 1/2 cups!).
Pour the syrup or honey evenly over the surface of the flake mass. Do the same with the oil. Mix well (it shouldn`t stick) and pour onto a baking sheet or a deep, ovenproof dish and distribute evenly (I have a clay dish with a high rim, which is very useful when stirring later, as the granola mixture cannot crumble out).
Bake the mixture for 12 minutes and then mix thoroughly. Repeat this process about three times (depending on how crispy you want the granola to be). The granola mixture should be golden brown in color at the end.
Take the granola out of the oven and let it cool down well before you eat it so that it hardens nicely and becomes crispy.
The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
