Nutty-Oatmeal Granola

There are many reasons to love this Nutty-Oatmeal Granola recipe. It just takes 25 minutes, it’s healthy, delicious and very easy to make!

For certain time, I used to go to the grocery store to look for in the granola aisle, for one that hadn’t sweetened with a refined sugar and didn’t have canola oil or sunflower oil.

Guess what?! I didn’t have any success. 😅

It’s also pretty cool to be able to customize a yummy granola with the ingredients you like, right? The nuts and the dried fruit you want! So, why not to make your own one?!

You’ll love the simplicity of the steps you will have to follow to get a very flavorful and crunchy Nutty-Oatmeal Granola!

THE FLAVORS USED FOR THE NUTTY-OATMEAL GRANOLA

This granola is infused with unflavored coconut oil, coconut nectar and cinnamon. (On my notes’ recipe card, at the bottom end of this page you’ll find a sweetener replacement).

The base is rolled oats, cashews, walnuts, pecans, almonds and seeds like sunflower, pumpkin, chia and flax meal. Of course, it is up to you to make the granola with the ingredients you’re craving!

TIPS:

  • Let cool down your granola before diving in. The granola will be extra-crisp as it cools. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
  • To bake the granola, I made it in two sessions. I mixed 1 tbsp of coconut oil, coconut nectar and 1/4 of cinnamon powder to coat the rolled oats on it. Then, I baked it for 5 minutes without the nuts and seeds. (That’s going to avoid they burn). While the rolled oats baked, I put all the nuts and sunflower/pumpkin seeds in a bowl and mixed this with 1 tbsp of coconut oil, coconut nectar and 1/4 of cinnamon powder to coat them with the mixture. After that, I mixed both the rolled oats and nuts. Then, I baked it for 5 more minutes.
  • While you let the granola to rest, add chia and ground flax meal. (optional)

HOW TO STORE THE NUTTY-OATMEAL GRANOLA

Store your granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up 1-2 weeks!

This granola makes the perfect breakfast adding it to your favorite yogurt with strawberries and blueberries, or eat it like cereal with a splash of milk! you also can enjoy it on its own as snack!

Hace algún tiempo, solia ir a la sesión de granolas en el supermercado tratando de encontrar una que no contuviera azúcares refinados o aceite de canola o girasol.

Te encantará saber los simples pasos que tendrás que seguir para obtener una granola crujiente y con buen sabor.

THE FLAVORS USED FOR THE NUTTY-OATMEAL GRANOLA

Esta granola ha sido impregnada con aceite de coco sin sabor, nectar de coco y canéla (en la tarjeta de receta, abajo, al final de esta pájina encontrás un substituto para el endulzante).

La base que he utilizado es hojuelas de avena, anacardos, nuez de castilla, pecanas, almendras y semillas como de girasol, calabaza, chia y semilla de lino molida.

Tips:

  • Déja enfriar la granola antes de comerla. La granola se irá poniendo extra-crocante mientras se va enfriando. Déjala reposar por alrededor de unos 10 a 15 minutos.
  • Para hornear la granola, Yo lo hice en dos sesiones. Mezclé 1 cda de aceite de coco sin sabor, nectar de coco y 1/4 de canela mólida. Lo cubri todo muy bien. Luego, lo puse en el horno por 5 minutos sin las nueces (para evitar que estas se quemen). Mientras esto estaba en el horno, puse todas las nueces y las semillas de girasol con las semillas de calabaza e hice nuevamente la mezcla con 1 cda de aceite de coco sin sabor, nectar de coco y 1/4 de canela mólida para agregarlo a las nueces. Después de esto mezcle todo, las hojuelas de avena horneadas con la mézcla de nueces y lo puse a hornear por 5 minutos más.
  • Mientras déjas reposar la granol, agrega las 2 cdas de chia y 2 cdas de semilla de lino molida. (opcional)

COMO ALMACENAR LA GRANOLA DE NUECES Y AVENA

Almacena la granola en un contenedor de vidrio de tapa hermética a temperatura ambiente por 1 a 2 semanas.

Esta granola puede ser un desayuno perfecto añadiéndole tu yogurt favorito con fresas y arándanos, o lo puedes comer con un poco de leche. También puedes disfrutarlo sin nada más que como un ¡bocadillo!
