Granola is a combined dry bulk mixture. It is prepared from any products, but the basis of the meal is oatmeal. Additional components can be: dried fruits, nuts, fresh berries and fruits, sunflower seeds, candied fruits, bran, honey, chocolate, etc. The collected mass is baked in the oven until golden brown and a cheerful crunch. Agree, it is difficult to come up with healthier food: granola contains a lot of vitamins and fiber, the properties of which are preserved even during heat treatment. In addition, there is no fuss in the kitchen, since the recipe is not at all complicated.
These breakfast cereals, of course, can be bought in the store, but they contain an excess of sugar, artificial additives and trans fats, which is completely absent in home-cooked granola. They use a mixture, dry, which must be eaten with a spoon or with your hands, like cornflakes. Also, the bulk mass is poured with warm milk or cool yogurt. Sprinkle it with fresh fruits and berries: banana, apples, pears, strawberries, raspberries, etc. In addition, you can stuff apples, pumpkins, peaches with it and bake in the oven, you get a delicious dessert. Another of the positive properties of food is that you can make a delicacy for future use and have breakfast for 1-2 weeks, or take it to work for a snack.
