Quick Oatmeal Almond Granola Recipe with Coconut
Making your own breakfast cereal is fun to do, easy, and you can adjust the recipe to your taste. I used to eat granola from the supermarket and then there were hard pieces of banana in it (really not my thing), apple cubes (but very chewy), and hard currants. But I didn't know any better, and I just picked out the things I didn't like.
Until I started making granola recipes. I roast the dry ingredients for the homemade granola in the oven and, if I feel like it, add currants, raisins, apricots, or other dried fruit after everything has cooled down. Or I add it in the morning when adding it to my bowl of yogurt. That way I can adjust it every day exactly to taste. It’s my favorite thing to do each morning.
And are you a chocolate fan? Then you will love this chocolate muesli (without extra added sugars). Or this apple pie granola for fall (it's my new favorite). That is really enjoyable.
What oatmeal to use for this baked granola with coconut?
Use unprocessed whole grain oats from the supermarket. The cheapest type will do just fine. You do not use quick-cooked variants or with a flavor for this recipe (you add that flavor yourself).
Preparation
You can find a recipe that you can easily print at the bottom of this blog.
You only need to take a few steps to prepare this easy granola. Heat the sugar-butter mixture and stir through the oats, coconut, and almonds. Spread on a baking plate and put it in the oven until it's crispy and golden brown.
- Delicious addings: After cooling to room temperature, you can add raisins, strips of dates, or other dried fruit, now is the time. Place in an airtight container or jar.
Muesli is made from oatmeal, combined with nuts, seeds, dried, and possibly other grains. No sweetener is added. Granola contains fat (oil or butter) and sugar. This is baked in the oven, making it crispy and sweet. Then you can mix it with nuts, dark chocolate chunks, dried fruit, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. Don't add fresh fruit (add it just before serving; otherwise you can't store your granola that long). The result: a crunchy granola mixture.
