Healthy Granola

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup Aazol’s Red Rice Poha
• 1/4 cup almonds, chopped
• 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
• 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
• 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries
• 1/4 cup Aazol’s Jumbo Black Raisins
• 3 tablespoons honey

Method:

1. Roast the Ingredients:

In a dry pan over medium heat, roast rolled oats until they turn slightly golden and aromatic. Set aside.

Roast Aazol’s Red Rice Poha until crispy. Remove and keep aside with the oats.

In the same pan, roast almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds until lightly browned.

2. Combine the Mixture:

In a large bowl, mix the roasted oats, Red Rice Poha, nuts and seeds.

Add dried cranberries and Aazol’s Jumbo Black Raisins for a burst of natural sweetness.

3. Sweeten the Granola:

Warm honey slightly to make it easier to mix.

Drizzle honey over the granola mixture and stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated.

4. Store and Enjoy:

Transfer the granola to an airtight jar.

Enjoy it as a crunchy snack, or serve with milk, yoghurt or fresh fruit.

Tips:

Customise Your Mix: Add or swap ingredients like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or desiccated coconut to suit your taste and nutritional needs.

Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter granola, add a tablespoon of jaggery syrup or maple syrup along with honey.

Make it Crunchier: Spread the mixture on a baking tray and bake at 150°C (300°F) for 10-12 minutes, stirring once halfway through.

Store Smart: Keep the granola in an airtight container to retain its crunchiness for up to two weeks.

Serving Idea: Layer granola with yoghurt and fresh fruit for a quick and Instagram-worthy parfait.

Enjoy the wholesome crunch of this homemade granola, packed with the goodness of Aazol’s Jumbo Black Raisins!
