Granola - Muesli.
Create and bake your own Granola and enjoy a fresh homemade muesli every morning! You can change the ingredients as you like. Add your favourite nuts, seeds, berries and don't forget to spice it up with cinnamon, ginger, cardamon...
Preparation: 15 min
Cooking: 30 min
The following quantities will get you a big jar full of the nicest smelling granola:
You need.
230g rolled oats, whole grain
30g sunflower seeds
30g pumpkin seeds
20g almonds
20g flax seeds
1 handful Cashew nuts, roughly chopped
60g raisins
3 EL coconut oil
3 EL honey, dark
3 TL cinnamon, ground
1/2 TL ginger, ground
Instructions.
In a big bowl, mix together the rolled oats with all the nuts and seeds.
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
In a small pan slowly heat the coconut oil, honey, cinnamon and ginger.
Coconut oil has a firm consistency, and starts to melt only at around 25°C. Which is rarely the case, here in Switzerland ;)
As soon as the coconut oil has melted, pour the brownish mixture over the dry ingredients in the big bowl.
Mix well.
Mmmhhh your kitchen ist smelling already very nice... and as soon as everything is in the oven it will get even better!
Place the slightly sticky mixture into a big baking dish or on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 30-40 min in the preheated oven at 180 °C.
Important: Don't forget to stir the oats every 10 min., so it can bake evenly and the top layer won't get burned.
After baking, let the granola cool down on the baking tray for about 30 min.
Now stir in the raisins.
Fill the fresh granola in a beautiful jar with a lid so it keeps fresh and crunchy for a long time.
Variation.
This is only one possible variation. Of course you can create your own mixture and adapt it how you like! Let your imagination run wild :)
I will certainly try other variations and the first ideas are already in my head... for example with pistachio, walnuts, cranberries... and of course with other spices like cardamon. What are your thoughts?
Enjoy. r
