I didn't know I would enjoy eating salty granola with my meals so much, she matches everything!
You are probably used to eating granola with yogurt and fruit, but in this savory version you have a range of options.
Plus it's an easy way to add more fiber, protein, minerals and all essential amino acids.
HOMEMADE SALTY GRANOLA NO OATS
Whenever we cook at home we have the privilege of choose exactly what we are going to consume, so we are not fooled by attractive packaging.
I know that we are often too lazy to make salty granola at home, but the recipe is very easy, just mix everything and put it in the oven.
One tip is to make the recipe at the same time you are doing something else in the kitchen, so you can “take care” of it in the oven.
And if you are one of those people who can't do two things at the same time, just put the alarm clock, so there is no mistake.
SALTY GRANOLA RECIPE WITHOUT OATS
The vast majority of homemade and industrialized savory granola recipes are based on rolled oats.
There's nothing wrong with oatmeal, it's great, but why not add more nutrition to your daily routine?
To make the savory granola recipe even healthier, you will use amaranth flakes and quinoa flakes.
THE The texture and size of these flakes are different from oat flakes, both are smaller and the amaranth flake is a little firmer.
See below the benefits of these flakes:
- Amaranth: It is rich in fiber, protein, minerals such as iron, calcium and magnesium, and 7 essential amino acids (lysine, leucine, isoleucine, threonine, tryptophan, methionine, and valine.
- Quinoa: It is rich in fiber, protein, iron, zinc, magnesium and B vitamins (B3, B5, B6 and B9)
All these nutrients add more health and nutrition for your diet and you will see that sprinkling salty granola on top of salad, rice, soup is delicious!
