The Best Organic Granola Recipe

-

By Larry Fisher


Everyone can make perfectly delicious and healthy breakfast at home. The most important thing is to get organic, so-called old fashioned oats. Raw, whole rolled oats are heart-healthy and chewy. Instead of them you can use quinoa flakes. Make sure all other ingredients are organically grown. You will find several suggestions here, so you should design your favorite organic granola recipe.

Pecan granola contains three cups organic oats, one cup chopped pecans, some green pumpkin seeds, one small spoon of cinnamon and the same quantity of fine-grain salt, and one large spoon of maple syrup and coconut oil. Mix all these ingredients together and bake for twenty minutes stirring once or twice. Let it cool, brake and add one cup chopped dried apricots.

The important thing is to line the baking pan with paper or to use silicone sheets instead. In case you enjoy coconut flakes in your mixture, add some, but not until the mixture is half-baked. How much maple syrup you use depends on your taste, but it can be replaced, or partially replaced, with honey. It will taste exceptionally good. It is great to serve it with fresh fruits.

Use different ingredients, according to your taste. Walnuts, almonds or pistachios, whole dried cherries, sunflower seeds, cranberries, you may combine whatever you find appropriate. When it comes to dried fruit, you can add them into mixture before baking, or when granola cools down. If you add dried fruits to cold, baked granola, this will preserve more vitamins, especially vitamin C.

Other crazy tasty things you can add are cocoa nibs, cashews white chocolate, walnuts or peanuts or something comparably heavenly. Your granola can be saved for maybe two weeks at room temperature, closed in some air-tight can, yet you can put it in the cooler, when it will be preserved for three months. Well, you will eat it before that, that's for sure.

One particularly tasty formula contains two mugs oats, one container peanuts and one vast spoon nutty spread, honey or maple syrup, coconut oil, coconut chips and sliced dried fruits, spiced with a smidgen of salt, cinnamon and ground ginger. It should be baked for approximately twenty minutes, let it cool and include some chocolate chips. You could also include fruits before or after, yet chocolate chips have to be added in finished mixture.

When baking granola, make sure to stir at least once or twice, rearranging ingredients in your baking pan, to make them brown equally. You will find organic gluten free oats as well, but you can use quinoa flakes instead, if you are gluten-intolerant. Some people don't add salt in, but this makes the whole thing much tastier. Cinnamon, vanilla, ground ginger or pumpkin spice blends improve taste.

Combine your favorite ingredients and don't be afraid to add something new in your favorite mixture. Serve it with fresh fruits, yogurt, milk, ice cream or juice, it's up to you. Be creative and the result will surprise you. You simply cannot buy something so tasty. And, if you include your children in this process of making it, they will surely enjoy their breakfast.
