Anything Goes Crunchy Granola

This is my second batch of granola after making this crunchy granola a few weeks ago. This time, I chose to use cashew nuts (creamier texture) and added dried mango (chewier texture) and a little candied yuzu (little nuggets of bright flavour). Belgian dark chocolate chip was also added to the mix and my breakfast turns into a dessert.  

I really like the versatility of granola recipe. With the base ingredients, namely rolled oats, honey, olive oil, salt and egg white, I can incorporate any kind of nuts, seeds, dried fruits and now chocolate chip to my liking. And they are all healthful ingredients.

I have been making my weekly sandwich loaf ever since the start of the year and ingredients such as oats, different types of nuts, seeds and dried fruits were used to make the loaf. I have lots of leftover of these ingredients. That is how the idea of making this crunchy granola came about. 

Home made crunchy granola for my family that I can customize and adjust the level of sweetness (the sweetness of some store bought ones can be really off the chart)  to our liking. That's not a bad thing at all.
