Stir constantly so the sugar doesn\u2019t burn.<br \/>\n4 | Turn off the heat. If the coconut oil has solidified, add it to the small saucepan and stir with a spatula until it has melted.<br \/>\n5 | Add the sugar and oil mixture to the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until it combines well.<br \/>\n6 | Spread the mixture over a large-rimmed baking tray covered with a baking sheet. Make sure to spread the mixture evenly leaving no gaps in the mixture.<br \/>\n7 | Cook in the oven for 45 minutes. Then, using a large spatula turn it over carefully (just like turning over a Spanish omelette!) making sure it doesn\u2019t break too much. Cook in the oven for another 20 minutes.<br \/>\n8 | And that\u2019s it! Let it cool before eating or storing it and make sure to use airtight glass containers so it lasts longer.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7737\" src=\"http:\/\/vanesalorenzo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/granola-vl-blog-edit-low.png\" alt=\"Vanesa Lorenzo | Mi receta casera de granola\" width=\"800\" height=\"591\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The combination of cereals, seeds and dry fruits in this recipe is an incredible source of nutrients. I want to share a little more information about each of them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Quinoa and puffed millet are full of vegetable proteins. The latter is one of the first cereals introduced to a baby\u2019s diet and is beneficial for all ages.<br \/>\n&#8211; Oats, as you know, are a must in my pantry. They are rich in vitamins, minerals and fibre.<br \/>\n&#8211; Almonds and cashews provide us with calcium, trace elements and healthy fats among other things.<br \/>\n&#8211; Flax seeds (or linseeds) are a rich source of omegas, fibre and vitamin B1.<br \/>\n&#8211; Coconut sugar is a great alternative to white sugar.<br \/>\n&#8211; Coconut oil provides us with flavour as well as healthy fats.<br \/>\n&#8211; The shredded coconut, apart from providing a large amount of fibre, potassium and magnesium also adds flavour.<br \/>\n&#8211; Cinnamon is a stimulant, good for digestion and an expectorant among other things.<br \/>\n&#8211; Himalayan salt is incredible; it contains 84 natural elements found in our body. It is rich in minerals and trace elements such as calcium, iron, magnesium and potassium.<\/p>\n<p>I like to use granola for breakfast and I combine it with yoghurt, kefir or any vegetable drinks. I also like to add fresh or dry fruits sometimes.<\/p>\n<p>Bon app\u00e9tit!<br \/>\nV<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 563px; left: 20px;\">Guardar<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve wanted to make my own homemade granola for some time now and this was my first attempt.
