Healthy Homemade Granola
You can make your own granola combination by using whatever ingredients you like and have on hand.
Equipment
- 1 Baking sheet
- 1 Bowl medium
- 1 Bowl small
- 1 Spatula
Ingredients
Dry ingredients
- 200 g Oats Rolled ( 2cups)
- 100 g Hazelnuts (1 cup)
- 50 g Coconut shredded or desiccated coconut, (½ cup) , unsweetened
- 2 tsp Cinnamon powder
- 1 tsp Cardamom powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar optional
Wet ingredients
- 60 ml Coconut oil (¼ cup) , melted
- 60 ml Honey (¼ cup)
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
Binder
- 1 Egg white , from 1 egg
Topping
- 40 g Chocolate flakes (¼ cup) or chocolate chips ( dark chocolate )
Instructions
- Place the dry ingredients in a bowl.
- And then all the wet ingredients except the egg whites in another small bowl.
- Then mix together the dry ingredients with the wet.
- Beat the egg white until foamy and then mix it with the granola mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Then line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour out the granola mix and then press it down with a spatula, much like you are making a large granola bar.
- Bake at 150° C (300° F) for 30-40 minutes. After about half of the baking time, gently flip large pieces of the granola, then gently press down again with the back of a spatula. Then put the tray back in the oven to finish baking.
- Don’t bake the granola for too long – just until it’s lightly golden on top. Your homemade granola will continue to crisp up as it cools.
- As soon as the granola is ready, remove it from the oven and add the chocolate flakes. The chocolate will melt and stick to the granola cluster.
- Turn off the oven. Then put the granola back in the turned off oven and let it cool there. This will allow it to get crispy and for the cluster to set.
- Store in an airtight container at room-temperature for up to 2 weeks.
