The best part about making a big batch of granola is that it’s not just breakfast food, it also makes for a great snack. On some days, it becomes our post nap grub. My boy and I sit with a bowl of granola and munch along as we read some book or shape alphabets with play dough. Jaggery is one of traditional sweeteners used in Indian treats. It is used quite widely to prepare the desserts, especially during the harvest festival. Jaggery is prepared by concentrating sugarcane juice and it is available as solid blocks or in semi-liquid form. It is much healthier when compared to the refined sugar. The darker the shade of the jaggery, the richer it is in iron and fiber. The taste can be compared to that of molasses or brown sugar.
The nuts and melon seeds added to the crunchy texture and the date palm jaggery gave that gorgeous vibrant shade. With yogurt or milk, it’s surely a great healthy morning treat to kick start the day.
