Homemade Granola

If you enjoy a crunchy and sweet breakfast, this delicious and healthy recipe is perfect. You really should give it a try! Yummmy

Homemade granola is a healthy breakfast option. The best granola is the one made at home, free from palm oil and unnecessary additives. You have control over how much sweetness you add and what it is, whether it's honey, maple syrup, or something else. Here's my version of granola. I found inspiration in a recipe from my son's nature magazine. Children often inspire my blog.

How to choose the best ingredients for Homemade Granola

Coconut oil: was initially regular oil, but I chose coconut oil for its superior smell.

Maple syrup: Maple syrup has a specific taste and smell and may not suit all tastes. However, you no longer feel it in the finished granola, so you don't have to worry.

Honey: choose your favorite honey. I recommend Manuka honey, which is considered one of the healthiest honey options available.

Vanilla extract is preferred over a vanilla pod as it spreads evenly throughout the granola.

Rolled oats are only suitable for homemade granola, as they are too small and get soft too quickly for porridge.

Sunflower seeds/Pumpkin seeds: Sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds are my favorite options to add to this recipe. Their composition is perfect for homemade granola, and they behave similarly during baking, so you can add them at the same stage of making the granola.

Sesame seeds are delicate and can easily burn, but they impart a distinct flavor when properly toasted. Therefore, it's important to consider when to add them during the granola production process.

Almond flakes are a great addition to granola, providing excellent taste and crispness. They also offer numerous nutritional benefits such as magnesium and B vitamins. These nutrients support memory, concentration, and the nervous system.

Raisins: Choose your favorite raisins, or replace them with your favorite dried fruit. Cut them into small pieces first.

TIP! You can successfully replace raisins with dried cranberries.

Coconut flakes or shredded coconut: Choose between coconut flakes or shredded coconut for your recipe at home, as the flakes are more noticeable but not necessary.

Tips and Tricks

• If you avoid all forms of sugar and even eliminate honey and maple syrup from your diet, you can omit these ingredients and add, for example, a double portion of dried fruit.
• You can store homemade granola in a tightly sealed container for up to 1 month.
