Baking And Making Homemade Granola With Kids
Updated: Nov 8, 2023
Hi … Who doesn't like yogurt? And better if it is accompanied by nuts, chocolate and even some fruits, because we give you the recipe of making a homemade granola with the ingredients you prefer, very easy to make and very yummy.
Ingredients:
250g oats
75 g walnuts
50 g almonds
50 g cashews
30 g pumpkin seeds
3 tablespoons of warm water
3 tablespoons of honey
3 tablespoons coconut oil
1 spoon of vanilla
150 g dark chocolate chips
A little grated coconut
First we need to cut the nuts into pieces of the desired size. If you do it with children you can help with the knife, you can also buy chopped walnuts, sliced almonds, sunflower seeds and put them without cutting…. The nuts added go like the consumer's taste, or like me, I used what I had at home. You can add peanuts, hazelnuts, pecan nuts, etc. and the quantities also to taste, they do not have to be the same. For example, I have used the almonds and cashews that I had at home.
In a small bowl add the liquid ingredients (honey, coconut oil, water and vanilla) to make a mixture, here you can also substitute ingredients to your liking, you can put maple syrup, agave, sunflower oil, without vanilla, or remove the water and add more honey and coconut oil, this is all about taste, different people, different taste.
Put all the ingredients in a large bowl and stir together.
When everything is mixed, put it on a stretched oven tray with the help of a spatula and put it in the preheated oven at 160 C (320 F) for 15 minutes then take it out to stir.
Then again bake for another 15 minutes and it would be ready, but because I like it more toasted, I put it back in the oven for 7 more minutes. Every time it is taken out of the oven, it must be stirred so that it browns on all sides.
The last time I took it out of the oven we added the chocolate chips and stirred it a bit so that some of the chocolates melt due to the heat and form small rocks.
Now you just need to let it cool and finally I added the grated coconut. You can also add raisins or some dried fruit at the end.
It should be stored in a tightly closed glass container when it is completely cold and can be kept for up to a couple of months.
We eat them alone, or you can put them in yogurt with some fruit.
I hope you like it and you can make granola totally to your taste, perhaps you can make several with various ingredients and try different granola.
