Ingredients
For the Crunchy Granola:
- 4 1/2 cups oats
- 3/4 cup almonds *
- 3/4 cup cashewnuts peanuts halved or shelled
- 1 cup pumpkin seeds melon seeds or (magaz)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup jaggery brown sugar powdered /
- 3 tbsps sunflower oil
- 1 1/2 tsps cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 1/2 cups wheat flakes (I used Kelloggs)
For the Mango Yogurt Parfait:
- 1 xbd cups mango puree , frozen
- 1 xbd cups yogurt fresh thick , chilled
- 2 bananas small
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- For the Granola : Loosely spread the mixture (in not too thick layers) onto two greased trays and bake at 170C (325F) for about 40 minutes until it is a nice medium brown colour. Stir the mixture a couple of times while baking to ensure uniform browning. Do watch the granola to see it doesnu2019t burn. Mix in the raisins and the wheat flakes as soon as you take the granola out of the oven. Allow to cool.
- When taken out of the oven, the granola will be a bit soft, but will become crunchy on cooling. Store in airtight containers.
- We like our Granola a little less sweet, but if you would like it sweeter then you could increase the amount of brown sugar/ jaggery to suit your taste.
- For the Mango Parfait : Put the bananas, mango puree, yogurt and vanilla in the blender and blend till smooth. Layer the parfait and granola in parfait glasses and top with granola. Otherwise just pour the parfait into the glass and top with the granola and serve.
