site which has an easy recipe and would be easy to modify.
I usually eat granola topped over yogurt or in a fruit parfait. I even have it on top of low fat frozen yogurt..it tastes absolutely great. It is healthy but a lil steep on calories esp. when you eat without measuring it ;) I did measure and weigh everything i put in...and have the calories stated at the end of the recipe.
Ingredients:
1 cup rolled oats (not instant)
1 tbls brown sugar
1 tbls honey
1 tbls mollases
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tbls sunflower oil (use any flavorless oil)
1 tbls water
Other:
50 gms walnuts
50 gms dates (chop them up in bite sized pcs.)
1 tbls tangerine zest
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 275 F.
2. In a bowl mix all the ingredients except the ones listed under 'other'.
3. Line a cookie sheet with parchment and spread the mixture on it and bake for 30 mts.
4. When 30 mts are done, stir in the remaining ingredients listed under 'other' and bake for 10 more minutes.
5. Let this cool and store it in a dry glass jar...coz it looks pretty ;)
I am trying to eat healthy so the calories per tbls (12gms) is 50 cal.
Notes:
1. Sub any fruit nut combo..but do not go crazy over it, as the calories are pretty high on the dried variety ones :)
2. Make sure the granola is cooled before you transfer it to a jar.
3. Parchment paper ensures the granola does not stick and you do not have to oil the pan. you can also use silpat, which is a great alternative.

Don't care much for dates or granola ...just wanted to pop in and say hello:-)
That's a whole lot of goodies in there. All my fav ingredients. I've never tried granola. Will try it sometime. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
i tbsp oil? you kidding me? i've gotta make this.
That's very easy and it's neat that we can control what goes in. I love parfaits too topped with granola... Yummy! Great idea to incorporate dates Rajitha.
can i pick up all the date's n walnuts ;)
true, making granola at home definitely works out much better.
Looks yummy Rajitha:))
I love your quest for healthy recipes Rajitha. OK now silly questions, where do I find "mollases" and Rolled oats is that the old fashioned oats?
Lovely entry Rajitha, and yes, homemade ones are always the best.
If you envy the recipes in mine..I am doing the same to you too...
God!..what all you guys can try and lay the hands upon if you reside out of India!..(sigh)
I will buy from you if you sell. I am hooked on to Kashi every day but yours look delicious
Granola took some getting used to, but maybe I should've tried this - dates make everything better :)
Rajitha, this looks gr8. Nice entry. Very creative. Can anything go wrong with Date, Walnut combo? Thanx for this. Will surely try it.
The tangerine caught my attention, though I'm not a big dates fan. Looks wholesome...good one!
Very different & interesting one..

Never made home-made granola before. I'm salivating already. Nice picture. A dollop of whipped cream will make it extra special. Oh....Smack me. I'm in a diet that dosen't allow me to eat granola , but here I am dreaming of having it with cream. :-(
Wow! This granola looks delicious...this is easy to prepare too.I am going to make that. My family loves such kind of loaves.This is a brilliant recipe, I am going to try it often...also thanks for the information on walnut recipe.
Thanks
