A nutritious and health- conscious snack that combines the wholesome benefits of rolled oats, nuts, and seeds.
This crunchy , golden treat is packed with fiber, healthy fats and protein, making it a perfect addition to a balanced diet.
The rolled oats in granola are rich in soluble fiber, which can help lower cholesterol levels and promote digestive health. Nuts and seeds, such as almonds, walnuts and chia seeds, contribute heart-healthy fats, plant based protein, and essential vitamins, and minerals like magnesium, vitamin E, and antioxidants.
INGREDIENTS-
- 4 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup mixed nuts
- ½ cup mixed seeds
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 tsp melted coconut oil
- ½ cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
PROCEDURE-
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, nuts, seeds and cinnamon. Mix it well.
3. Pour in the oil, honey and vanilla. Mix well, until every oat and nut are lightly coated. Pour the granola onto your prepared pan and use a large spoon to spread it in an even layer.
4. Bake until lightly golden, about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway. The granola will further crisp up as it cools.
5. Let the granola cool completely, undisturbed (at least 45 minutes). Top with the dried cranberries. Break the granola into pieces with your hands.
You can store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks.
Enjoy granola with curd or milk.
