Frequently asked questions about granola.
Like with anything else, granola is as healthy as the ingredients that is put into it and the methods used to make it. This is one reason why many people like to make their own rather than purchase granola already made.
When only healthy natural ingredients are used to make granola, you can expect the granola to be relatively healthy. However, this is when the granola is eaten in moderation 😉.
Granola commonly has oats as the base of the ingredients. Vegan granola is usually made with maple syrup while non-vegan granola may be made with honey.
Other common ingredients that are used to make granola include nuts, dried fruit, and spices such as ground cinnamon. Once the ingredients have been combined, they are baked until crisp.
Tips for making homemade granola.
Rolled oats are used in this recipe. Quick oats are not recommended as they do not have the structure, like rolled oats, to hold when baked in this recipe.
Here are some more great tips for you.
- Some folks prefer large chunks of granola as they are better for snacking on. However, other folks like those chunks to be minimal as the granola will be used as a topping or as part of another recipe. The choice is up to you.
- Adding dried fruit, such as raisins, is one way to make your granola even better. Other options include coconut flakes, alternative nuts such as peanuts, or even chocolate chips.
- After removing the granola from your oven it is important that you allow the granola to completely cool before 'disrupting' it especially if you prefer your granola chunky. However, if you are not a big fan of chunky granola, you can attempt to break it up while warm.
How to store homemade granola.
This homemade granola should be stored in an airtight container. If properly stored, it should however also keep for about two weeks or even longer if frozen.
