Allos Organic Baked Crunchy

What do honey, chopped nuts and crunchy oat flakes have in common? - They can be used to bake an excellent sponge cake. But the ingredients also develop their great aroma in baked muesli. In the USA, roasted "granola" has been a classic in the morning cereal bowl for over 100 years.

In contrast to commercially available traditional mueslis, which are based on raw, unsweetened oat, spelt or other cereal flakes, there is an additional step in the preparation of granola: roasting or baking the ingredients. To do so, the cereal flakes are first mixed with vegetable oil, honey, syrup, sugar or natural fruit juices to create larger chunks that stick together. The cereal chunks are then baked in the oven at high temperatures until they are fragrantly crisp. The caramelised cereal flakes solidify as they cool and become firm. This is why granola is so particularly crunchy. Depending on the recipe and manufacturer, the granola base preparation is given additional crunch by other ingredients such as dried fruits, nuts or chocolate chips.

The term granola originates from the USA, where it was registered as a legally protected trademark in the late 19th century for a special type of double-baked wholemeal cereal. Gradually, the brand name has become more and more generalised and extended to a whole range of products. Today, almost all products made from roasted cereal flakes are referred to as granola in colloquial speech.

In North America, granola is eaten pure as a snack, but is often spiced up with milk, yoghurt and fruit juices or freshly cut fruit such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries or bananas. In addition to the crunchy taste and wonderful roasted aroma, baked muesli owes its popularity to another feature: unlike traditional muesli mixes, it absorbs liquids such as milk less quickly. This means it stays crunchy for a particularly long time.
