6 Ingredient Granola

6 Ingredient Granola

Granola is one of those foods that I can eat alone or add it to something else.
I could seriously sprinkle some of this granola on top of my MEDITERRANEAN DIET WHOLE WHEAT AND OATMEAL MUFFINS

Granola really is the perfect healthy treat in my opinion.

You could certainly add any kind of ingredients to it to make it yours. However, I like to stick to the more healthy ingredients when I make granola.

It is true that granola can contain sugar.

Usually, so I want to believe anyway, that sugar is a natural sugar.
It is a sugar that comes from added fruit or honey perhaps.

I have heard that for a granola to be considered low in sugar, it should have around (or less) 4-5 grams of sugar per serving .

Some dieters may avoid eating granola because it tends to be a more dense concentration of calories than some cereals. However, granola gives us fiber, protein and healthier fats which can make you feel fuller than those other cereal options.

 

There are ingredients that you will need to make this homemade granola that you may not have on hand.

Obviously, there are rolled oats in granola. You will also need some dried and unsweetened shredded or flaked coconut.

There are some low carb alternative to oats in granola that you can try.
Instead of rolled oats, you can try using flax meal or seed, chopped almonds, or even chia. You can find other low carb or keto alternatives for granola here.

 

Here are some tips to help you make your granola even better.

I already mentioned that you could certainly add any kind of ingredients to it to make it yours. However, I like to stick to the more healthy ingredients when I make granola.

Here are some more tips for making a great tasting homemade granola.

  1. While this recipe calls for no added sugar alternative, you could add some liquid sugar alternative to sweeten your granola up.
  2. Baking your granola longer will make it darker and more crunchy. Be sure to stir often as well.
  3. Add additional dried fruit, nuts, and even sugar free chocolate chips for more taste and texture.

 

Granola is a cereal that consists of oats, nuts, dried fruit and often some kind of sweetening.

However, this cereal becomes a great snack when you allow the granola to clump up rather than breaking up the clumps when you stir it. You can make your granola less sweet by avoiding the added sweetener and eliminating or limiting the added dried fruit.

 

We are going to use natural ingredients to coat our granola.

To sweeten this granola we will use honey. An alternative to honey that you could use instead is maple syrup.

As mentioned above, to sweeten this granola I have included honey as an ingredient. An alternative to honey that you could use instead is maple syrup.

I also mentioned that baking your granola longer will make it darker and more crunchy.
Also, adding additional dried fruit, nuts, and even sugar free or regular chocolate chips can add more taste and texture to your granola.

Here are the ingredients to make 6 Ingredient Granola

  1. Oil- ½ cup.
    Suitable oil choices include sunflower, canola, peanut, avocado, or coconut oil.
  2. Honey – ½ cup. An alternative to honey is maple syrup
  3. Rolled Oats– 3 cups.
  4. Sliced Almonds– 1 cup.
  5. Dried and Unsweetened Shredded or Flaked Coconut.– ¾ cup.
  6. Dried Fruit– 1 cup, can omit if desired. Raisins and similar smaller fruit work best.

You can add optional seasonings as desired.
Pumpkin Pie Spice,
Allspice,
nutmeg,
ground cinnamon, or even
Ground Ginger.

Here is how to make your 6 Ingredient Granola.

  • Preheat your oven to 300 and prep a cookie or baking sheet with parchment paper .
  • In a small mixing bowl blend together the oil and honey.
  • Next, in a large mixing bowl, mix together the rolled oats, almonds, coconut, and nuts .
  • Pour the contents from the smaller bowl (honey and oil) over the contents of the larger bowl (oats etc) and toss the ingredients together to coat them. Then transfer the mixture to your prepped sheet and evenly distribute them.
  • Bake the granola for 25-30 (baking time is also subject to your tastes) minutes or until it is crispy and beginning to brown. Be sure to stir in every 10 minutes or so to allow the granola to baked evenly and not burn. Allow the granola to cool and then stir in the dried fruit.
