Mango Strawberry Granola | Aromatic Vanilla Cake


    

I used to be by no means an enormous granola particular person, till I found hand-crafted granola!  Retailer purchased was a bit too candy and sugary for me generally, and the flavors weren’t that thrilling however once I make my very own at residence I can tailor it to my sweetness degree and add every kind of enjoyable add ins!  Granola is one thing that I like to have readily available, and once I make it it’s enjoyable to snack on as a result of nothing beats a pan stuffed with heat granola contemporary from the oven!  There are occasions once I can’t cease snacking on it and 1/4 of the pan is gone earlier than I do know it!  Final weekend I made a decision to make some Mango Strawberry Granola and it turned out so scrumptious I made a decision to share the recipe with you all! 

For my granola base, I like to make use of quaint rolled oats as a result of I like texture.  If you happen to desire a distinct oat akin to simply common rolled that might work too.  The thought is to make use of what you’ve got readily available!  On this one I used pistachios and pecans, two of my favourite nuts for snacking however I feel this could be superior with cashews as effectively when you like these going with the tropical theme.  If you happen to wished so as to add in a bit coconut that might be good too, and I’m completely going to do this subsequent time, I simply did not have any readily available.

I used coconut oil to get this good and crispy, however I additionally added in some almond butter as a substitute of simply utilizing all oil as a result of I desire that. A observe for people who need to go oil free, I’ve efficiently changed the oil with a fruit puree earlier than, and that works nice together with the nut butter. So when you wished to make use of a mango puree or banana puree to make this oil free go for it! I add in some sea salt and vanilla and this granola is completely balanced!

It smelled so wonderful whereas baking I couldn’t wait to get pleasure from some!  However first I added within the fruit which is definitely freeze dried, so it really works out excellent for conserving this extra shelf secure.  If it lasts that lengthy that’s.  It’s fairly darn addicting whenever you begin snacking on it from the tray, and my husband who’s type of choosy generally about this sort of stuff really preferred it too!  In case you are searching for the right crunchy snack, positively give this Mango Strawberry Granola a attempt!
