QUICK 'N' CRUNCHY GRANOLA



Quick 'n' Crunchy Granola image

Granola is my family's favorite cereal but we rarely buy it from the store because it's so expensive. So I decided to try and make my own. We will never buy granola from the store again! This is so easy and delicious; everyone should try it! Some of my family members mix in raisins or almonds just before eating (no need to bake them.) But remember you MUST STIR the granola after it bakes for 10 minutes. I didn't read the recipe carefully and burnt my first batch. Enjoy.;)

CRUNCHY AND DELICIOUS GRANOLA

Tips:

  • Add nuts and seeds. Nuts and seeds add crunch, flavor, and healthy fats to granola. Some popular choices include almonds, walnuts, pecans, chia seeds, and flax seeds.
  • Use a variety of dried fruits. Dried fruits add sweetness and chewiness to granola. Some popular choices include raisins, cranberries, apricots, and cherries.
  • Add spices. Spices can add a lot of flavor to granola. Some popular choices include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cardamom.
  • Don't overcook the granola. Overcooked granola will be dry and hard. Cook it just until it is golden brown and fragrant.

With so many different variations, there is sure to be a granola recipe that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, reach for a bowl of granola.
