STOVE TOP GRANOLA
Stove top granola is a super-fast and simple to make granola that comes out crisp and
delicious every time. Making granola over the stove top takes less
time as compared to the baked granola.
Granola is very versatile; simply add whatever your heart desires, dried
fruits, nuts, toasted coconut, sweetener of your choice, etc. I added all the ingredients that were
available in my pantry. If you want to
make sugar free granola just skip adding the sweetener. For sweetener I chose to use jaggery because
as per Ayurveda cooking honey releases toxins.
Oats are the most important ingredient because they make up the bulk of
the dish. The fiber-rich oats in this
granola will quell your cravings with just a small serving. Enjoy the granola with yogurt/milk topped with fresh fruit. It can even be enjoyed as a snack on its
own
