How does a recipe get born?​

​

Making a recipe by someone, have you ever wondered how it was born or got created? ​Usually i just get an idea and start working on it and that is how the recipes happen, but sometimes it is a little different story like with this Cashew Cranberry Granola :) I recently discovered a store bought granola that I absolutely fell in love with. I must tell you, for me, a store bought granola is more of a treat, because of how much sugar they tend to have in them. But this one was so delicious I couldn't stop myself from buying it. Then at some point I thought, I have made so many granolas myself, why not try and replicate the flavours in this one and create a healthier version of it? And that is exactly the story of this recipe :)

​

If​ you have never made a homemade granola, then you definitely should! It is super easy to make, you can decide for yourself what goes into it and it is much cheaper. I have three other delicious granola recipes that you can find linked in the video tutorial below. My favourite part about homemade granola is the fact that I know exactly what is in it. I can adjust the sugar amount or omit it completely, I can add a little fruit or a lot, I can add one kind of nuts or multiple, the decision is mine :)

​

I hope I have convinced you to try making your own granola and if decide to try this one please let me know in the comments what you thought about it :)​

Enjoy Lovelies!

DIRECTIONS

​

  1. In a big bowl mix the oats with the cranberries, almonds, cashew nuts and the pinch of salt. If you don't want to add the cashew nuts whole, chop them roughly before adding. Mix shortly and check the amounts. Adjust if needed to your liking.

  2. In a small bowl mix the coconut oil with the agave syrup. If the coconut oil is solid melt it first shortly in a microwave before adding the agave syrup.

  3. Add the coconut oil with the agave syrup to the rest of the ingredients and mix thoroughly with your hands to coat everything well.

  4. Spread the granola over 2 baking trays. Bake in 150°C (300°F) bottom top heat in the middle shelf of the oven for 10 minutes. Then mix shortly, turn around if needed and bake for another 10 minutes or until golden.

  5. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

  6. Enjoy within 2 weeks time.
