CRUNCHY GRANOLA – THE BEST!

I usually eat cereals for breakfast because its something which is readily available in hand when your in a hurry. …….and busy moms  like us are ALWAYS on the go!

I never ever sit down and have breakfast. I’m the person who prefers to finish all my work in the morning itself so I can have sometime to relax later……..so very often I realize I havn’t eaten my breakfast halfway through cooking and then just eat a bowl of cereal while I’m cooking! It’s the easiest for me.

I saw this granola on my insta friend’s gram a few weeks ago! Prerna’s instagram is ‘cooking with happiness’ and she has alot of healthy recipes.

It seemed too perfect and tempting that I had to give it a go! That golden brown granola was something I couldn’t forget ! So I had to make it!:)

Waited patiently till she posted the recipe………….and bam! I’m OBSESSED!! Super duper  delicious!

I had a bowl with some creamy flavoured yoghurt ! YUM! So crunchy and the right amount of sweetness and everything!

YESSSS! My week is sorted!!

rolled oats – 1 and 1/2 cup

almonds – 1/3 cup

pumpkin seeds – 1/4 cup

dried coconut flakes – 1/4 cup

chia seeds – 1tbsp

flax seeds – 2 tbsps

jaggery powder – 2 tbsps

cinnamon powder – 1/4 tsp

pinch sea salt

honey- 3tbsps (or maple syrup)

coconut oil – 3 tbsps

• Toss all the ingredients under ‘mix and roast’ in a bowl. Mix well.
• In a wok, on low flame roast the granola mix. Keep stirring continuously.
• Roast till it becomes slightly brown. Switch off and add in the dried cranberries and raisins. Mix well and let it rest in the pan for a few minutes. It will become nice and crisp.
• After it cools, store in an airtight container.

• I’m not too fond of using the oven. I prefer the stove top for cooking if possible.
• Normally people use an oven to roast the granola, stirring it every 3 minutes for about 20 minutes or so at 180 deg.
• But i preferred using a stove top.
