Breakfast is definitely my favorite meal of the day. I can spend time preparing it because I love eating it (hello morning stomach on legs!).
On the program, depending on the morning: squeezed fruit juice or smoothie, pastries, dairy products, coffee, and often muesli or granola!
Granola... Muesli... But what's the difference exactly?
These are two similar mixtures (oat flakes, rye or other), nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts...), fruits (fresh or dried) etc. However, muesli is eaten as is, therefore raw. Granola, on the other hand, is baked in the oven on a baking sheet drizzled with a sweet and oily binder, which will give it crunchiness.
My "booster" granola is packed with benefits for the whole family: antioxidants, beta-carotene, vitamin C with Goji berries, magnesium and protein thanks to pumpkin seeds, fiber and omega 3 thanks to Chia seeds. All this for breakfast!
So here is the step-by-step guide to making it at home...
- 100 g agave syrup
- 4 tbsp of coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla bean powder
- 280 g oatmeal
- 85 g coarsely chopped almonds
- 35 g pumpkin seeds
- 3 tsp chia seeds
- 40 g Goji berries
- Preheat the oven to 170 ° C traditional heat.
- Make the binder by heating the agave syrup and coconut oil in the microwave for a few moments. Once hot, add the vanilla powder, then mix.
- In a bowl, combine the oatmeal, coarsely chopped almonds and seeds. Pour the binder into the dry mixture then mix everything well.
- Spread the mixture on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Cook for about 30 minutes, stirring regularly, until the granola turns a nice golden color.
- Let cool, then add the Goji berries.
To consume with cottage cheese, yogurt, cow's milk, soya ... The possibilities are numerous :)
Great!! Thanks...
Hello, your granola is very nice. Do you have any ideas on what I could replace the almonds with? I am actually allergic to nuts? Thanks in advance. Have a nice day ;-)
Hello Jenny, in this case, you can bet on several dried / fresh fruits to make your mixture, it will be just a little less crunchy. You can also add chocolate chips for more indulgence! See you soon
Thank you for your answer good day to you and good weekend :-)
This müesli looks delicious!
Hello, I'm discovering the block, superb! I just have a small criticism to make for the granola which looks delicious!! By cooking it at such a temperature we remove a lot of vitamins and minerals and it's a shame. To avoid this we cook longer at a low temperature or better, in the dehydrator!
Thanks for these recipes :)
