Which Oats Are Best to Make This Granola?
In granola recipes, I usually use either quick oats or rolled oats. They are easy to prepare and can be used in different breakfast meals. Lightly heated rolled oats are rolled out into various thicknesses (to extra thick from instant oats).
Is it Healthful to Eat Granola with Dried Fruit?
Adding more dried fruits or additional sweetener in granola leads to more sugary variation, nut- and seed-based kinds have more protein, and fiber-rich varieties have more whole grains. Granola’s nutrients vary based on the ingredients, but some are high in micronutrients and fiber.
Is it Possible to Store It?
Put the granola into an airtight jar after it has cooled thoroughly; eat with the two weeks of storing it. I use a glass jar to store mine for simple snacking, and yes, I eat them directly from the jar!
Can You Freeze it?
Granola can also be frozen! Remove the extra air from a freezer-friendly Ziploc bag. Keep for about 2 months in the freezer.
Before eating, let the granola defrost. It won’t be as crispy as the first time you made it, but it’ll still be tasty.
