HEALTHY GRANOLA

We decided to give granola a makeover, and not just by cutting calories and sweeteners. Yes, we trimmed the sugar-but we also added healthy fats, like olive oil, and increased the fiber by including with almonds, sesame seeds and puffed millet. One 1/2-cup serving delivers 4 grams of fiber and only 8 grams of sugar! Add some milk (for calcium and protein) and your favorite dried or fresh fruit and you've got a complete breakfast or snack.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 25m

Yield 1 large batch, 64 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups oats (I use multi-grain)
1/2 cup applesauce
3/4 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons honey (I use creamed honey)
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup flax seed meal
1/2 cup cashew pieces (or any other nut you like)
3/4 cup raisins (or any other dried fruit)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Put oats in a microwaveable bowl and cook for two minutes, stirring after one. (This warms the oats helping to melt all the ingredients together).
  • Add remaining ingredients, except the dried fruit, and stir until very well blended.
  • Pour mixture into two large oven safe dishes and bake for 20 minutes, stirring every five.
  • Add dried fruit.
  • Spread on wax paper to cool.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of oats: This will give your granola a more complex flavor and texture. You can use old-fashioned oats, quick-cooking oats, or a combination of both.
  • Add nuts and seeds for extra flavor and crunch: Some popular choices include almonds, walnuts, pecans, chia seeds, and flax seeds.
  • Sweeten your granola with honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar: You can also add dried fruit, such as raisins, cranberries, or cherries, for a natural sweetness.
  • Season your granola with spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger: This will give it a warm and inviting flavor.
  • Bake your granola at a low temperature for a longer period of time: This will help it to crisp up without burning.
  • Let your granola cool completely before storing it: This will help it to stay crispy.

Conclusion:

Granola is a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option that is easy to make at home. With a little creativity, you can create a granola that is perfectly tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a healthy snack, give homemade granola a try.
