Undoubtedly, many of you have wondered what Granola is? I had discovered it many years ago when I first visited Brazil. That is the most beautiful addition to the Açai 🥣 bowl and, for me, the most delicious thing in the world. Granola is a mixture of oatmeal, oil, seeds, dried fruits, flavored with syrup based on honey and toasted in the oven. The difference between Granola and Muesli is that Granola is crispy and roasted. Granola is perfect for breakfast, usually added to yogurt, but you can also enjoy Granola at any time of the day, eating it just like that.

This cereal recipe is straightforward to perform and is very susceptible to improvisations and experiments; you can easily tailor it to your taste.

The execution of the recipe is in three stages:

1. The first stage is preparing the products: Oatmeal inflated rice or inflated millet.

2. The second stage is the cutting of dried fruits and nuts into small pieces. Again: Nuts and dried fruits in the recipe are just an idea. You can use dried fruits and nuts to your taste.

3. And the third stage is choosing the honey or syrup you like the most and the oil. For fat, you can use sunflower oil or coconut oil.

Tip: When buying the oatmeal, make sure that the nuts are whole and there is not a lot of crushed white powder in the package (if you can see).

!!! The quantity and variety of products may vary depending on your taste!!!
