This Crunchy Homemade Granola is my ultimate and favorite go-to breakfast. It’s nice and crunchy, quick to put together and (almost) always available in my pantry.
This granola is also multi-purpose. it goes well with plant milk or yogurt, smoothie bowl or as a topping to a fruit. That said, it’s just as good for breakfast as for snacks. And all that achieved in a quick process of throw-in oats and any nuts and seeds that you have at your disposal.
I still remember the times when everybody around me was talking about homemade granola. And I loved the idea of it, but it just sounded too much of a hassle to me. If I only knew back then that the process can be so straightforward, I would wait no longer.
So if you are anything like me back then and are terrified of complexity, but love the idea of granola – look no more. This recipe is super-simple and will not take more than half an hour. Moreover, you can easily improvise with what you’ve got at home. You can make this homemade granola your way, using this recipe as a base.
My favorite way to serve this Crunchy Homemade Granola is with plant-based plain yogurt and ripe fruits. I absolutely love how various favors of roasted seeds, nuts, and oats combine with the smoothness of yogurt and sweetness of fruits.
On top of that, oats are a great source of nutrients like complex carbs, protein, fiber, manganese, selenium and many money. If you are interested to know more about nutritional upsides of oats, check out this article.
Prepare this homemade granola as a batch (below makes around 12 portions) and enjoy for up to a week (store in an airtight container to keep maximum crunchiness). Hope you’ll love it as much as I do. And hopefully, it will be a frequent guest on your table too. Bon appetit!
