About 10 years ago, Xavie decided to live a healthier lifestyle. She ditched her old habits and switched to a natural diet, free of fast sugars. The effect was enormous; after 10 days, she felt reborn and had tons of energy.
That's why she decided to take the plunge and bake her own granola at home. After much experimenting, she arrived at her own recipe. And it turned out to be a success! Today we're sharing Xavie's favorite tips and tricks for making the most delicious homemade granola. Enjoy!
1. Start with a good foundation
Delicious granola starts with good ingredients. Think of:
-
whole wheat oat flakes
-
seeds such as linseed or sunflower seeds
-
quality nuts , such as hazelnuts or almonds
Note: It's best to buy fresh nuts. If they sit too long, they lose their flavor, and you'll taste that immediately in your granola.
2. Choose a mild sweetener
For a nutritious granola without sugar spikes, it's best to use a natural sweetener like agave syrup .
This gives your granola a slight sweetness, but it's absorbed more slowly by your body. This keeps your blood sugar levels stable, and you'll feel full and energized for longer.
3. Bake your granola until golden brown and crispy
Mix the flakes, seeds, and nuts thoroughly with the agave syrup. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Cook at a low temperature, stirring occasionally, until everything browns evenly. This will give you that signature crispy bite we all love.
4. Give your granola a personal touch
Is your granola nicely cooled? Then it's time to play. Add whatever you like:
-
pieces of dried fruit
-
grated coconut
-
pieces of chocolate
-
spices such as cinnamon, ginger or cardamom
This is how you make granola that perfectly suits your taste. And it smells wonderful in your house. 😍
