Different Ways to Consume Granola
Prepared using cereals, dried fruits and various seeds, granola has been easily adaptable by entering our daily nutrition habits with its being nutritious and healthy. Basically oatmeal, nuts, vegetable oil and natural sweeteners are blended and made in the oven granola is consumed with milk or yogurt. In addition to the high nutritional value it contains, the benefit is increased when consumed with calcium-rich dairy products.
What does granola contain and how is it made?
While making the ideal granola, oatmeal is generally preferred as cereal product, but it is possible to come across varieties such as barley, rye and kinoa in the new generation granola trials. Dried fruits such as hazelnut, walnut and almond are added to granola mixtures which are added to a vegetable oil such as hazelnut oil, coconut oil in order to achieve consistency and retention before baking. Thus, an effective way to get natural and healthy fats to the body is created while increasing flavor. Natural sweeteners such as cinnamon, vanilla seeds, honey or agave syrup are added to give the sweetness and the granola is enriched by adding dried fruits after the baking step. Fruits such as figs, apricots, bananas, grapes or blueberries give the true flavor of granolas.
In fact, the content of granolas should not be limited. It is possible to increase the flavor and nutritional values by adding different products after forming the basis. Granols can also be diversified using products such as chia seeds, flax seeds, bee pollen, dark chocolate, pumpkin or sunflower seeds. It is possible to consume this healthy snack which is suitable not only for breakfast meals but also for any time of the day in different ways. So if you say what they are, let's take a closer look.

Especially forest fruits will be very suitable. You can even eat these parfume in the evenings for dessert. If you want to add some more sweetness, it might be a good idea to add peanut butter in between.
