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.

You may utilize different amounts or different ingredients, as you wish. Walnuts, almonds or hazelnuts, entire dried fruits, sunflower seeds, you can join whatever you find proper. With regards to dried natural product, you can include them into blend before, or when granola chills off. In the event that you add dried natural products to cool, prepared granola, this will guarantee more vitamins, particularly 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 especially delicious recipe contains two cups oats, one cup peanuts and one large spoon peanut butter, honey, coconut oil, coconut flakes and whole dried cherries, spiced with a little bit of salt, cinnamon and ground ginger. Bake, let it cool and add some chocolate chips. You can add cherries before or after baking, but chocolate chips would melt. It is simply insanely tasty.

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.
