A mixture of crunchy oatmeal with nuts and dried fruits, granola is a popular breakfast or snack in the United States. This dish differs from muesli in the addition of honey, and also in the fact that the oatmeal is dried until crisp in the oven.

Ingredients:

  • large oat flakes - 300 g;
  • nuts (walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, etc.) - 150 g;
  • raisins - 100 g;
  • pumpkin seeds - 70 g;
  • almond petals - 50 g;
  • honey - 150 g;
  • oranges - 1-2 pcs.;
  • vegetable oil - 3 tbsp. spoons;
  • ground cinnamon - 1 teaspoon;
  • salt - ½ teaspoon.
  1. Chop the nuts with a knife or crush them into pieces of arbitrary size, being careful not to chop them too much. Here you can use either one type of nut (for example, walnuts), or make a mix of cashews, almonds, hazelnuts, etc. The more nuts, the tastier the granola will be!
  2. Squeeze the juice out of the oranges (you need to get 150 ml), mix with honey and butter. Place on low heat, add salt, and add cinnamon for flavoring. Heat this mixture over low heat until the honey is completely dissolved.
  3. Pour oatmeal into a large bowl, add almonds, pumpkin seeds and pieces of nuts.
  4. Pour in the warm honey mixture and mix everything thoroughly so that the dry flakes are evenly covered with the liquid sauce with the aroma of cinnamon.
  5. Transfer the contents of the bowl to a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading the cereal into an even layer of equal thickness. Dry the granola in the oven for 40-50 minutes at 160 degrees. Every 8-10 minutes, take out the baking sheet and mix the contents thoroughly so that the flakes dry evenly.
  6. Having achieved the appearance of a dark caramel crust, friability and crunch characteristic of granola, remove the snack from the oven.
  7. After cooling, transfer the mixture to a bowl, add pre-washed and dried raisins, and mix. You can add other dried fruits to granola, but if you use large berries/fruits, do not forget to chop them with a knife first.
  8. Store granola in a dry place in tightly closed containers for up to two weeks.
  9. We eat the snack with yogurt, milk or just like that.

Homemade granola is ready! Bon appetit!

Granola is baked muesli that is so popular in the West and is slowly finding its fans in our country. Cooking can safely be called a creative process and improvisation. Oatmeal is used as the basis, and the rest is added according to the taste and discretion of the author. It can be anything: fruits, nuts, seeds, candied fruits, dried fruits. It’s simply impossible to overdo it with fillers, no matter what you add, the granola will turn out great!
Granola differs from muesli in that to prepare muesli you just need to pour cereal flakes with water, but for granola you still need to bake them first.

The good thing about baked cereal is that you can make it for future use. In a closed jar or container, granola will last about two weeks. So you no longer have to worry about your upcoming breakfast. All that remains is to choose what you will eat them with. For example, they go very well with yogurt, milk or even kefir. By the way, many Hollywood stars prefer to start their day with such a breakfast.

TIME: 1 hour 30 min.

Easy

Ingredients

  • large oat flakes - 10-12 tablespoons;
  • honey – 60 ml;
  • drinking water – 60 ml;
  • vegetable oil (sunflower) – 2 tablespoons;
  • cinnamon – 1 tablespoon;
  • salt - a pinch;
  • dried fruits and nuts - to your taste.

Preparation

Let's prepare the nuts and seeds. If they are large, then they need to be chopped smaller. This recipe uses peanuts, walnuts and sunflower seeds.


Mix the oatmeal with the prepared nuts and seeds.


Now you need to prepare the syrup. To do this, mix honey, sunflower oil, water, add cinnamon, salt and heat it all up.


Pour the hot syrup into the oatmeal with nuts and seeds and mix very well.


Place the oat mixture in a baking dish or on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Level it well so that the layer is even.


Place the oat mixture in an oven preheated to 160 degrees. The granola will take about 50 minutes to prepare. Every ten minutes you need to remove the baking sheet and mix the oat mixture well. Gradually it will begin to change color and turn golden.


We take out the baked oat mixture, it is still a little wet, this is normal. Once cooled, the granola will be as crispy as it should be. Add dried fruits and candied fruits to the cooled granola to your taste. This recipe used raisins, dried bananas and pineapples.


That's all, healthy and tasty homemade granola is ready! Transfer it to a jar and store it in a dry, dark place.

Homemade granola with nuts and dried fruits

Granola is great! You can pour it over cold milk and yogurt, you can enjoy it as is (by the handful)... It is prepared from the simplest homemade products. And with what pleasure children eat it, so ardently claiming that they will “never, never, never” eat oatmeal! It is also important that granola can be made from different ingredients, changing or supplementing them to suit your taste. The only constants are oatmeal, butter and honey - but you can take any nuts, dried fruits, and also supplement the recipe with seeds, chocolate chips, coconut flakes and so on - ad infinitum. Granola can be prepared for future use and stores well in the pantry.

For 5-6 servings, take:

  • 300 g of oatmeal (which is not poured with boiling water, but boiled - this is important!),
  • 2/3 cup of any nuts (more is possible),
  • 1/2 cup dried fruits or dried berries,
  • a handful of sesame seeds (not roasted)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (no peas),
  • a pinch of salt (preferably coarsely ground),
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil,
  • 3 tablespoons of honey (with a heap if it has crystallized).

Granola recipe step by step:

Let's prepare the basic ingredients. Personally, I have everything of my own (except oatmeal). I took nuts from the garden and peanuts from my own garden. And instead of dried fruits - pieces of soft dried pears, they are very sweet and fit perfectly into granola. You can also take raisins, dried cranberries, cherries, bananas - in any ratio.
Peel the nuts and chop them (not very finely, but so that they are convenient to eat).


Mix nuts with oatmeal.




Add cinnamon, salt and sesame seeds to the dry mixture.


Vegetable oil (any) needs to be mixed with honey. If it is not liquid, this mixture needs to be heated over low heat for about three minutes so that the honey melts. There is no need to boil the mixture.




Pour honey into the future granola and mix the flakes well.


Spread a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Spread out the granola.


Bake your future breakfast in a preheated oven over medium heat for 30 to 50 minutes. Important: the mixture must be stirred every 10-15 minutes. This will prevent the granola from sticking to the sheet, and will also allow it to bake evenly, since it heats up more intensely at the edges than in the middle.


Meanwhile, chop the dried fruits.


Allow the mixture to cool (it may seem a little soft when it's hot, but the oats in the honey will firm up as they cool), then stir in the pear or other dried fruit.



What does your baked cereal smell like? And how golden they are! Place the granola in a jar, close the lid - now it can be stored in the pantry or kitchen cabinet.


What's the best way to serve this breakfast? With yogurt and fresh (or defrosted) strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, currants and so on. You can also top granola with milk, kefir – even fermented baked milk; in any case it will be very tasty.


By the way, if you are cooking in the summer, the baked granola recipe can be supplemented with fresh fruits or berries. In this case, add pitted cherries and plum pieces to the oatmeal before baking. Having dried thoroughly in the oven, they will give the granola a colored note; this heat treatment will allow the fruit granola to be stored for a long time without refrigeration.

Sometimes it's hard to find time to make your own baked granola. Then there is nothing left but to buy it in the store. It will be useful to know that it is commercially available in two forms: crumbly and in the form of bars. The second type is very convenient for those who live at a frantic pace and are used to snacking on the go. Such a nutritious and light bar will be irreplaceable during a hike or picnic in nature, especially since it takes up very little space.

Other ways to eat granola:

  • it is sprinkled on ice cream;
  • apples are stuffed and then baked in the oven;
  • They make amazing desserts from it; the chocolate granola with nuts alone is worth it;
  • For those who are struggling with extra pounds, there is good advice - make granola without honey. It can be replaced with maple syrup, which will significantly reduce the calorie content of the dish.

When preparing syrup, sometimes butter is used instead of sunflower oil.

In addition to cinnamon, other favorite spices are added:

  • nutmeg;
  • cardamom;
  • ground ginger;
  • vanillin.

Granola is baked oatmeal in syrup, to which nuts, fruits, berries or seeds are added. Granola at home can be a type of breakfast - it is seasoned with natural yogurt, milk or juice. You can also cut granola into bars and use it as a healthy snack.

This dish is predominantly sweet, but there are recipes that allow you to prepare granola without sugar - if you wish, you can also prepare dietary granola at home.

Granola very quickly gained popularity not only among people leading a healthy lifestyle, but also among real gourmets. The American breakfast, the purpose of which was to save time in the morning, quickly moved into the category of recipes for proper nutrition and healthy snacks. Homemade granola is light and easy to prepare, and you can find the necessary ingredients in the store at any time of the year.

In addition, granola has many advantages over other breakfasts:

Granola is prepared from coarsely ground oat flakes. Since granola was originally conceived as a promotion of dietary nutrition, its recipe should contain exclusively grains rich in fiber and bran. This is an ideal replacement for breakfast cereals, which lose a lot of nutrients during processing.

Granola is an ideal option for those who do not like to eat porridge in the morning, but strive to include slow carbohydrates in their diet. This breakfast is so delicious that both adults and children enjoy eating it.

Homemade granola is an extremely healthy and organic dish that does not contain preservatives, dyes or food additives.

Most breakfast cereals contain huge amounts of sugar. Dietary granola includes only natural sweeteners in its recipe, which is beneficial not only for your figure, but also for your overall health.

Granola is not only an ideal breakfast, but also a snack, lunch and dinner. To avoid skipping a meal at lunchtime, you can always take granola with you for a snack.
Dietary granola can be easily used in other recipes. With its help, you can prepare a lot of delicious and healthy desserts and diversify your diet.

The taste of granola is very easy to change by adding a variety of ingredients. You can experiment and constantly get new unusual tastes of your favorite dish.

Composition and benefits of granola at home

There is no need to buy a healthy snack in the store, since making granola at home is as easy as shelling pears.

The basis of the granola composition is:

· cereals;

· other cereals (flattened);

· dried fruits;

· pieces of fresh fruit or berries.

The composition can be changed and supplemented with other ingredients, but the main component - oatmeal - is required. What are the benefits of granola?

Oatmeal is an excellent source of polysaccharide carbohydrates that take a long time to be processed by the body and saturate it with energy. The dietary fiber in the cereal helps:

  • good digestion;
  • lowering cholesterol;
  • normalization of the cardiovascular system;
  • activation of lipid metabolism.

Honey in granola is a source of fructose and a whole “bouquet” of vitamins, including:

  • thiamine (B1) – has a positive effect on a person’s mental abilities and metabolic processes in the body;
  • riboflavin (B2) – necessary for the hematopoietic and reproductive systems, health of hair, nails, skin;
  • B6, ensuring skin health;
  • E – the most important antioxidant and antihypoxant (regulator of oxygen consumption by cells);
  • carotene (provitamin A) – a natural immunostimulant;
  • C is an immunostimulant and an important component for the function of the vascular system.

Nuts, which are often included in granola, are natural plant protein that can replace animal protein. It is very important to include nuts in the diet of vegetarians and people engaged in mental work.

Is it useful in combination? Without a doubt! But granola is also convenient to use. This snack is very filling, and at the same time light, can be stored for a long time, which makes it indispensable, for example, on hikes.

Granola and muesli: what's the difference?

I think the main difference between muesli and granola is that muesli is tasteless, but granola is tasty)) Well, really? Haven’t you come across delicious muesli either? Or am I the only such outcast?

Okay, I'm kidding. But seriously, the main difference between granola and muesli is that granola is baked, but muesli is not. In this case, a sweetener in the form of honey, sugar, molasses, etc., as well as butter, is added to the granola. Both of these components perform a binding function, and as a result, granola turns out to be delicious lumps, reminiscent of corn flakes.

By baking and adding fats and sugars, the granola also becomes crunchy. While muesli is a dry, crumbly mixture of oatmeal with the addition of dried fruits, nuts and, possibly, other grain flakes, not specially sweetened, not crunchy and not very healthy looking.

Simple diet granola recipe

Usually to was tasty and crispy, some kind of vegetable or butter and honey or other sweeteners are added to it, and one might even say that a lot. If you don't sweeten your granola at all, it will be bland and will sit in the jar and go moldy. After all, who will want to chew those flakes if they are not good? Or you can sweeten it a little and get creative with ingredients that create a sensation of sweetness without the sugar. And the crispy consistency can be obtained from egg whites, which are also beneficial for dietary nutrition.

In my granola recipes, very often, I do not indicate which nuts to use. Since granola is such a universal product, it doesn’t matter what they are. Even more, the more varied, the better and more useful. But in granola with a limited amount of sweeteners, this already makes a difference and I recommend using cashews. They have a sweetish taste and create the impression of sweetness in dishes. And cinnamon helps them. By the way, I have been using cinnamon for a very long time as a compensator in recipes where there is not much sugar. Whether it’s due to its chemical composition, or maybe it’s our psychological perception of cinnamon as a dessert spice, but everything flavored with cinnamon seems sweeter.

And about egg whites. With such a limited amount of oil and sweeteners, they are responsible for the crunch of granola. I've used egg whites before in cooking. , but in smaller quantities relative to the flakes. And if you want your granola to have more lumps, then for a given amount of ingredients, you can even use 3 egg whites.

As for dried fruits in dietary granola, I ignored them because they increase the total calorie content of the product. Of course, you can add them if you wish. Dried fruits should be added to granola after baking.

Cereals should be whole grain, not instant. Ideally, cut or rolled from whole, unpeeled grains. Fortunately, the fashion for healthy eating has already reached us and there are already domestic producers of high-quality cereals.
