How to make homemade granola
We weigh and measure the ingredients of our recipe and chop the nuts.
We turn on the oven and put it at 180 ºC so that it warms up while we prepare the mixture for our homemade granola. In a bowl we will put the oat flakes and we will add the rest of the dry ingredients and the seeds.
Season the mixture with cinnamon and nutmeg.
Stir with a spoon until everything is well mixed. Finally we will add the honey and oil.
When we have all the ingredients in the bowl, we will mix them well so that everything is impregnated and the oil and honey are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to a baking tray previously lined with paper and bake at 180ºC. We will leave it for about 20 minutes, stirring it frequently to prevent it from burning. When the time has passed we will see that it has browned and has become toasted and crunchy. Remove our granola from the oven and let it cool on the tray itself.
When it is completely cold, we will store it in an airtight jar and we will have our homemade granola ready.
Ideal for our breakfasts or to accompany our favorite yogurt that, enriched with some red fruits, will be a perfect snack.
