I had been wanting to make my own homemade granola for a long time. I don’t know why it took me so long, because it’s very simple, quite fast and the result is spectacular. Seriously, you cannot imagine how good it is. I will never buy natural granola again when I can make it myself.
There are many variants, with which you can always innovate and so we don’t get tired of it, but the base of the preparation of a granola is oat flakes, to which some other cereal is sometimes added, then nuts and/or seeds. , and finally some oil and sugar or honey and spices to taste.
This time I opted for something simple, because it was the first time. I accompanied the oatmeal with almonds and hazelnuts, a little coconut oil, sweetener and spices, and it was a wonderful homemade oatmeal granola. Honestly, I didn’t expect it to turn out so good. A complete success!
Ingredients to make easy, fast and delicious Homemade Granola:
- 2 cups of oat flakes
- ½ cup of granulated almonds (or as you prefer)
- ¼ cup hazelnuts
- 1 pinch of salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ginger powder
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- ¼ cup of brown sugar (45 grams)
- ½ tablespoon of honey
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla essence
How to make easy, quick and delicious Homemade Granola:
- Mix all the ingredients of the homemade granola very well in a bowl.
- To do this, first, we will heat the coconut oil a little to melt it and temper the honey so that it is more fluid and better distributed. We mix very well.
- If you prefer, try this sugar-free homemade granola recipe another time.
- Trick: I take this opportunity to say that instead of honey I put a sugar-free syrup as an equivalent, I had the hazelnuts whole and crushed them in the mortar, and instead of sugar I put an equivalent sweetener in the same amount, so I prepared the homemade granola healthier.
- Line the bottom of a baking tray with parchment paper and spread the mixture.
- There should not be a very thick layer so that the homemade granola browns very well and evenly.
- We put the oatmeal and coconut granola in the oven at about 170 ºC and leave for about 20-25 minutes.
- We stir the mixture every 5 or 6 minutes to avoid burning the parts that are most exposed or in the corners.
- The only danger of homemade oatmeal granola is burning.
- For the rest, it is very easy to do, so we must be very careful and stir the mixture from time to time so that it is perfect.
- When it’s ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool completely.
- Then we can store it in a hermetically sealed jar, it lasts very well for several weeks.
- Just so you know, because I don’t think it will last that long. Easy, quick and delicious homemade granola is just too good!
- I take it with natural yogurt and fresh fruit and it drives me crazy. You have to try it!:)
