There are many recipes on the internet claiming to be the best for granola. Articles outlining the '3 Essentials Steps For Perfect Granola' or 'How to Make It Crunchy Every Time'. Am I adding another one to the internet?? Nah, I wouldn't make such a claim, as it would suggest that I had done extensive research, recipe testing, tasting panels and that is just not true. However, it is pretty damn good!
The other day I was eating a piece of baklava with a yogurt on the side. The yogurt being cool and creamy with the impossibly sweet and sticky, yet crunchy, nutty baklava got my mind working on how to make this lovely combination into something else.
My mind got to granola. Not a huge shocker as I have also been obsessed with overnight oats for a long time now. If you follow me on Instagram you will know this.
This is a very simple recipe. It outlines a ratio of ingredients that can be used time and time again to create multiple granola flavours:
1.5 Cups Oats
1/2 Cup Liquid (50-50 sweetener-oil)
1 Cup Extras (dried fruit, nuts, chocolate chips etc)
It is a basic granola recipe that can be customised to suit your mood. Once you stick to the above ratios-your imagination knows no bounds!
It is a cup recipe rather than a gram recipe and this makes it so simple to make granola- anywhere! A mug, a glass, a bowl can be used-anything as long as you use it for every ingredient.
