Spicy Granola Bars (Stovetop -NO bake)- FOR EASY WEIGHT LOSS
Making granola is easy, one bowl, one baking sheet, most of the granola recipes are either done by baking or by cooking sweet bar,but since my hubby is highly spice lover so though of adding few simple ingredients. The best part is that you can customize it any way you like. In this case, we though out of the box and made our granola savory by adding salt and spices.
You can carry this bars for mid snacks or even for late lunch munching.
This granola bars can be used on top of your smoothies,kanji, Protein shakes or even on cooked oats, with any seasonal fruits.
NOTE: now you can watch all my recipes in video form in each blog recipe page itself.
BASIC INGREDIENTS TO MAKE GRANOLA AT HOME:
- Oats
- Nuts or seeds
- Dried fruit
TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE GREAT GRANOLA AT HOME:
- Use old fashioned oats, not quick oats.
- Use a liquid fat like vegetable oil, ghee or melted coconut oil.
- Use raw nuts, like pecans, walnuts, pistachios, almonds, hazelnuts.
- If you want to make nut-free granola use seeds like sesame, sunflower, pumpkin, chia, etc instead of nuts.
- Always add dried fruit after the granola is cooked, if not they will get tough and possibly burn.
- Store in an airtight container, we love to use glass jars.
- Granola freezes really well, it can be kept in the fridge or on the counter if planning to finish it within a week or less.
- I have used homemade Kollu podi or horse gram powder as one of the spice powder, check out the recipe if you have planned of adding into this oats.
Lets cook with step-by-step pictures.
