ReplyDeleteThats a beautiful looking and healthy granola..yumm!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you decided to make granola yourself. It is so easy doesn't make sense paying so much.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the entry.
OH, your granola sounds fantastic- I love that you've added cardamom powder, I'm going to try that next time! I know what you mean about it hurting your jaw sometimes if it's storebought. Thank you for sharing this with the hearth and soul hop this week =)
ReplyDeleteHi Sujana and thanks so much for sharing this week on the hearth and soul hop! You can make this even better if you dont mind having butter by replacing the canola oil with butter. If you dont want to use butter use coconut oil. The canola will prevent you from storing this recipe for any length of time as it goes rancid very quickly. I love home made granola!

ReplyDeleteIt's so much better made at home, anyhow, because you can add just what your family likes :) I have very fond memories of my mom making granola when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing with the Hearth and Soul hop.
ReplyDeleteI haven't made granola in awhile - your addition of cardamon sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing this with us at the hearth and soul hop!
ReplyDeleteThanks alex for the suggestion, I never knew that about canola oil. Actually I make granola fresh whenever needed.. since my husband gets bored easily of the same taste... :)
ReplyDeleteI love making granola at home as I can throw in watever I have in my pantry waiting to be used up. Imagine the possibilities/../dried fruits, nuts, cranberries, sunflower seeds....WOW!!!
