I was expecting a friend to arrive mid-morning the other day.

I began to bake a cheesecake for our morning tea, but after it went in the oven I realised that it was never going to be ready in time, because it was one of those cheesecakes that tastes better when chilled.  So, I baked granola as it is nice and quick to make.

Basically you need roughly the equal portions of melted butter, honey and condensed milk.  Warm them up together in a bowl in the microwave to make the honey and condensed milk runny, but not boiling hot.

Put some rolled oats, shredded coconut, walnuts, and dried cranberries into the bowl until the mixture sticks together but not too wet.  If it's too wet, keep on adding more oats bit by bit.

Line a baking tray with baking paper, tip the dough onto it, use a back of a spoon to spread over until it is about a centimetre thick.  Bake in the 180 degrees celsius oven until the edges are nice and brown.

It is chewy in the middle and crisp on the edge.  You will not be able to stop eating it till it is all gone.
