Honey-puff granola, oh yeah. Equal amounts of organic gluten-free oats and puffed brown rice cereal add a \u201ccloud-effect\u201d to a normally quite crunchy granola. And when I say \u201ccloud-effect\u201d, I\u2019m talking light and airy. Light and airy together with some good \u2018ole crunch. Kinda like mixing \u201choney pops\u201d cereal with something healthy like m\u00fcsli, but better\u2026 and homemade.<\/p>\n

Homemade granola rocks. It can be made a hundred different ways. Is super easy and it\u2019s the answer to that early morning dilemma \u201cwhat should I eat for breakfast today?\u201d. Toast? Too one-sided. It\u2019s just carbs, maybe some whole grains and butter (or some sugary fruit spread). Hmmm. M\u00fcsli? Yeah! But pretty standard (yawn). Homemade granola? Yes! It\u2019s all natural, not too sweet, and has a fantastic flavor combination that can be adapted any way you like.<\/p>\n

Homemade granola – something you’ll make again and again<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve made lots of different variations of granola over the years, but there are a few recipes, that are champions and are made time and time again. One that my favorite Schwabe and I both love, and make often, another that is a very close runner-up and a chocolatey one that\u2019s actually not as sinful as it sounds. Other times, I am trying new variations to keep us from ever getting bored of such an awesome breakfast treat \u2013 and that brought me to this honey-puff granola. It\u2019s sweetened with honey cause I think honey and puffed rice where made for each other. But it could easily be made with maple syrup to please my vegan friends. Then there is some crunch from whole raw almonds and walnuts, some subtle tropical flavors from coconut flakes, and a little natural sweetness from raisins and dried apples. PS) raisin-haters, just add more apple or replace with chopped dates!<\/p>\n

Variations and tips for this homemade Honey-Puffed Rice Granola recipe<\/h2>\n

Old fashioned oats or fine-cut oats?<\/strong> – I leaned towards fine-cut oats for this Honey-Puffed Rice Granola recipe, but either will do. Or go head and boost the health benefits by using 3-grain or 5-grain flakes. You can also use the gluten-free kind and to save a few pennies, buy your oats in bulk packages.<\/p>\n

Puffed cereal<\/strong> \u2013 this is key to adding the light overall texture. Puffed brown rice can easily be replaced with any other kind of puffed cereal. Just use in equal amounts to the oats (2 cups of each).<\/p>\n

The sweetener <\/strong>– In most my homemade granola recipes I use maple syrup over honey. I\u2019m Canadian after all! I think this recipe called out for honey, and with it, tastes a little sweetener. Maple syrup can be used instead. It\u2019s up to you.<\/p>\n

Seeds, nuts and dried fruit add ins<\/strong> \u2013 be creative, there are so many great combinations! This time, I went for almond, walnut, coconut, apple and raison. Dried apricots or dates are also great additions. Make sure to add fruit at the end, it burns easily. And if possible, choose organic.<\/p>\n

The flavorings<\/strong> — Again get creative\u2026 try cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, or even cardamom as in this recipe.<\/p>\n

Happy granola baking!<\/p>\n
