Rose Granola | Rose Cardamom Granola

Rose Granola is a breakfast or snack made with Rolled Oats, Nuts or Seeds, Rose Petals, and any sweeteners. It is aromatic with rose flavors.

Granola is an addictive munchie for me. I kind of have it for mid-morning snack or evening snack and whenever I am bored. At one point of time, I realized store-bought granola is high on sugar. They usually add sweeteners and many preserving agents for more shelf life.

Since then no looking back and I bake my own granola. The best part about baking granola at home is that we can customize it. We can add our favorite ingredients and decrease or increase the ingredients. It is completely our wish.

What is Granola

Granola is a cereal types made of Rolled Oats , Nuts any other sweetener. There is no specific measure of ingredients for granola. We can customize as per our needs , Also only one key in Granola is there every ingredient should be baked to golden and crisp.

Rose Cardamom Granola

Rose Cardamom Granola is loaded with Indian Flavours. I have added rose water , Cardamom powder and Rose petals. It is so aromatic and even while baking the entire room is aromatic. If you like Rose flavour then this will be the perfect recipe for you.

I love rose flavor and i have tried many recipes with this combination. I have another interesting recipe coming soon with Rose and cardamom flavors.

Ingredients for Rose Cardamom Granola:

Rolled Oats

Rolled Oats are the base ingredient for the granola. We can also use Steel-cut or event Instant oats. But rolled oats is the one that gives the granola feel.

Almonds

As always Almonds adds a nice volume to the granola. After toasting it gives a nice crunch and yummy texture.

Seeds

We are using Sunflower seeds , Pumpkin Seeds and Chia seeds in Rose Granola. You an also use Flax seeds or any seeds as you prefer.

Dried Rose Petals

Rose petals are the most important ingredients and not to be missed. Fresh rose petals don't have a longer shelf life, which is why we go for dried rose petals. Yet, while you are consuming you can also add fresh edible rose petals.

Cardamom Powder

Cardamom powder along with rose forms the life of the granola. Hence it is a must.

Cane Sugar

I wanted the granola to be a vegan snack and hence I added Can sugar. We can also use Maple Syrup. If using reduce the coconut oil to 1 tbsp and add 2 tbsp of Maple Syrup. Same applies to Honey if using.

Tips to Make the Perfect Granola

• The Granola needs some liquid to coat the Dry ingredients, That is why you are adding the oil or the Honey
• .If you are specific about the version, add Maple Syrup.
• If you wanted to skip both Honey & Maple Syrup, You can skip them and add in the Brown Sugar or Cane Sugar. Yet in that case, we need to increase the oil quantity.
• Another important point is never bake the Granola continuously, there is a high chance it gets burnt.
• Bake them for 15 mins and then toss the ingredients on and then bake.
• After baking for 15 mins, further, keep flipping the ingredients once every 5 mins until it's baked.
• The oats might appear soft after baking buts it gets crisp when it cools down.
• The nuts might turn toasted and the oats will be brown, this is when the granola is done.
• Always add the dry fruits after baking the granola as there's a high chance it gets burnt.
• Feel free to customize the ingredients as per your preference.
• Allow the granola to cool completely and then store in an air-tight jar for longer shelf life.
