I think it’s a joy to be able to prepare more and more of the foods we eat here at home. It’s been a few years since I bought granola at the supermarket, I’ve had a hard time finding good ones at a fair price. Preparing homemade granola is healthier and you can use ingredients that you like most or have in your pantry.
Today I will share the recipe that I prepared with the ingredients that I have at home, but do not use others. If you want it sweeter, you can add another tablespoon of honey or molasses.
It’s delicious added to yogurt or fruit salad!
Suggestions for other ingredients for granola: Brazil nuts, dehydrated bananas or apples, dried coconut, walnuts, plums, goji berries, rice or corn flakes.
You will need:
1 cup oats (flaked)
¼ cup raisins
½ cup unsalted cashew nuts
8 apricots
2 tablespoons of cocoa nibs
¼ cup almonds
1 tablespoon of chia seeds
2 tablespoons of golden flaxseed
1 ½ tablespoons oil (coconut, sunflower or olive oil)
1 tablespoon of honey
1 pinch of cinnamon powder
How to do it:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Wash the chestnuts, almonds and apricots. In a bowl, add all the ingredients and mix well.
Place them on a baking tray with parchment paper underneath and spread evenly. Place in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, stir well, spread the granola back on the baking tray and return to the oven for another 10 minutes.
The exact time will depend on each oven. Here at home, 20 minutes is enough. The best thing is to keep an eye on it, maybe it will stay less or less.
Remove from the mold and let it cool completely. Store in a hermetically sealed glass.
