Nothing beats some good, homemade granola oats. I used to buy tons of ready made granola oats from different brands and if I had any idea how easy, tasty, good for health and cheaper would be to make my own at home, I wouldn't have bought a single bag. Well, finally, for the last couple of years, I got enlightened and my Greek yoghurt with granola and berries never tasted better. Believe me, if you do your own granola oats at home, you will find the taste revelatory and definitely not go back to the supermarket ready bag. 

I usually prepare the granola oats twice/month, it takes 1h in total, deposit in a jar and enjoy it for breakfast with the whole family 1-2 times/week. For the basic granola oats you simply need 2 ingredients: large oat flakes and maply syrup. There's your super fast, healthy, zelidecious breakfast. Never had complaints from kids or adults. In later posts I will share how to make cups with Greek yoghurt, homemade granola, nuts and berries; Greek yoghurt parfait with granola; Açai bowls with homemade granola and so on.

Ingredients for 10-12 servings:

• 500 gr. large oat flakes
• 100 ml. maple syrup

Method:

1. Preheat oven at 200'C.
2. In a large bowl, mix well the oat flakes with the maple syrup.
3. Transfer the oat to a baking tray and insert in the oven.
4. Bake for 40 min., until golden brown and crispy, and mix them in the baking tray every 10 min., so the flakes won't burn.
5. Take out of oven and leave to cool in the baking tray for 1 hour. Transfer in a jar and deposit for up to 2 weeks.
