How to Make Healthy Granola
Making homemade granola is a very simple process. Granola is essentially made up of ingredients like nuts and seeds, oats, dried fruits, coconut flakes etc. To make granola you simply need to mix an oil with a sweetener and stir this through your dried mixture. A key part of granola is that it is then baked in the oven. This creates a deliciously crispy, nutty texture and flavour.
My healthy granola recipe is no different! Simply:
- whisk together the honey and macadamia oil in a small bowl.
- Add the oats, pecans, sunflower seeds and ground ginger to a bowl.
- Pour the oil mixture into the oat mixture and stir it through to evenly coat the dried mixture with the honey and oil.
- Spread the granola across the base of a baking dish and bake until crispy, golden and fragrant.
Mix together the honey and macadamia oil in a small bowl. -
Add all of the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl. -
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir well to combine. -
Pour granola mixture into a baking dish a spread out evenly. -
Bake until golden and fragrant. Allow to cool before serving or storing in an airtight container.
Storing Homemade Granola
The best thing about making a homemade toasted granola is that it stores really well! Once the granola is completely cooled, pour into a large airtight glass jar and place the lid on. Store this toasted granola in the pantry for approximately 3 weeks (ours never lasts this long so I can't tell you for sure that it will last longer than this).
How to Serve Healthy Granola
Some simple serving suggestions for this honey ginger granola are:
- serve with warmed milk
