Sundays for me are for restocking on my breakfast essentials and this includes making this easy crunchy granola recipe with a twist of course. It's a delightful mix of oats, fruit juice, and a variety of nuts and seeds, perfect for a wholesome start to the day.
Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
Preheat the oven to 150°C and line 2 large baking trays with baking paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats and ground cinnamon. In a separate bowl, stir together the fruit juice blend, oil, and honey until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Spread about half the mixture onto each baking sheet in an even layer, about 1 cm deep.
Bake for 2 hours, stirring every 20 minutes to ensure the granola browns evenly, until it turns a rich golden brown.
Remove from the oven, transfer the granola to a bowl, and let it cool completely before adding the fruit and nut mix, seed mix, and coconut flakes. Once cool, store in an airtight container.
Serve the crunchy granola with milk or yoghurt alongside some fresh orange segments and mango pieces and enjoy!
Don’t overcrowd the baking tray! Spreading the granola too thickly will make it steam instead of bake, so aim for a thin, even layer.
The granola will crisp up as it cools, so don’t worry if it feels a little soft when it first comes out of the oven. Be patient and let it cool fully before storing to maintain crunchiness!
Can I use a different fruit juice blend?
Yes, you can use any fruit juice blend of your choice to add a different flavor to the granola.
How should I store the granola?
Store the granola in an airtight container once it has cooled completely to maintain its crunchiness.
Can I omit the seed mix and coconut flakes?
Yes, the seed mix and coconut flakes are optional and can be omitted if desired.
How can I serve the granola?
Serve the granola with milk or yoghurt and some fresh orange segments and mango pieces for a delicious breakfast.
How long does the granola last?
When stored properly in an airtight container, the granola can last for several weeks.
