Kickstart your mornings with this healthy granola recipe !!

New year always comes with new resolutions and healthy eating always tops my list(sad that being a foodie there are more cheat days for me than healthy ones :(  

I always try to bring healthier alternatives in our daily diet and love making homemade stuff.The recipe which I am sharing today is one such thing which we usually buy from stores without realizing its loaded with added sugar and preservatives.Well this recipe has a story of its own.Last year we went to Bali for holiday and while visiting one of the super mart grabbed a pack of granola for snacking.The flavor was coconut and granola and we loved it so much that we bought another pack to enjoy it after coming back.I thought I will be able to find this flavour in India but tried and couldn't get anything even similar.

So then I thought of trying it on my own and yes it did work..tastes almost same and since then I have been making it in  batches and its get over in a couple of days ;P

You can have it with milk /yoghurt or just simple snacking it tastes amazing !!

Ingredients 

1 cup oats
1 banana mashed
1/2 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup chopped cashews
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup pumpkin/melon seeds
2 tsp honey
1 tsp oil

Method

Preheat oven to 150 degrees. In a large bowl combine all ingredients and spread it evenly on a baking tray.You can leave aside half of the coconut flakes because they brown pretty quick.
Bake it for 30 mins and keep turning it over every ten minutes so that it doesn't  get burn and cooks evenly.
Mix in the remaining coconut flakes and allow it to cool.You can play around with your choice of dry fruits.
Store in an airtight container and enjoy !!
Trust me it won't last more than 1-2 days...both my son and hubby fight over it !
