I found a couple of basic granola recipes in my cook books and did some experimenting by combining them until I got something I liked. With this recipe, you can do a lot of customizing with the types of fruits, nuts, and seeds you use. It would also serve as a basic recipe to go off of if you want to try some new flavor combos on your own!

This recipe was inspired by my visit to a friends house. I wanted to whip-up this for breakfast, but at the absence of an oven this is a perfect alternative. I always love granola weather it is in a bar or home-made in zip-locked bag. I love the taste of spices as well as the crunch I get from the roasted oats and the fresh fruits. This is an excellent snack and breakfast since it gives you your daily dose of fiber and vitamins. It also keeps you full for a long time. So I hope you guys would try my recipe and love it like I do.

Feel free to add other dried fruits or seeds and leave out the ones you don't like.Btw, this bread is soo good with peanut butter.

Overnight oats are, of course, a healthy breakfast and they re easy to make, but they also feel like a special treat, sweet with dried fruit. Unlike oatmeal, uncooked but softened oats retain a fresh flavor and taste delicious cold. Top it with nuts just before eating for an irresistible crunch against the creamy oats.#GlobalApron

There are a bazillion different overnight oats recipes out there, but I really like this one! It has some Greek yogurt in it for a little extra protein, and I like how thick the oats become along with the Chia seeds. Variations are endless, of course. You don’t have to layer it into a glass, but it certainly looks pretty if you do!#GlobalApron - Week 34. Chia seeds, Oats#Healthy #Vegetarian #Breakfast #Brunch #Snack

You can add other fruits to the oats like small cubes of pineapple, shredded apple or berries.

Yet another yummy variation of my go to breakfast - oats. This is one of my favorite muffin flavors and these oats definitely capture that flavor profile. Don't skip the lemon zest either...it really adds a nice pop of fresh flavor that compliments the blueberries. Recipe source : fitfoodiefinds.com

For grain free, omit oats and increase nuts and seeds to make the 2 cups

This smoothie is sugar free and is perfect way to curb your hunger especially during fasting as it will keep you full. I love how it tastes and I am sure you will too!It contains no Ice cream but this milkshake still turns out rich and creamy. Combining dates and figs into this thick and filling smoothie is the best thing that you could do to yourself. If you plan on making it for suhoor, remember to soak the dates, figs, nuts and seeds overnight. For iftar just soak for a few hours.I find it most satisfying as a thick smoothie, but feel free to play with proportions until it fits your preference!Sweet and creamy Fig and Dates Smoothie is a healthy and decadent treat to start your morning right!

I thought that it would be pretty if I made white bread with assorted colorful dried fruits. After several attempts I was successful.I couldn't get a hold of them this time, but if you add green maraschino cherries or angelica to the mix, the bread should be even prettier.I used lemon and orange peel, dried pineapples, dried apricots, dried apple, dried cranberries and dried mangoes this time. Choose your dried fruits so that you don't have just very sour or very sweet types; go for a good balanced mix. Have fun trying out your favorite fruits. Recipe by La Land

I found a recipe for apple overnight oats in my feed and decided to make something similar with the dried fruits I had on hand. I used steel cut oats in the recipe, if you want to use other types of oats you may need to reduce the water, maybe ⅓ cup for rolled or quick cooking oats. This should make for a good breakfast.

These are my favorite granola bars! You can substitute the raisins and seeds for any dried fruits or nuts that you wish. I also have a Chocolate Chip Almond Granola Bar on my page! :)
