Muesli/Granola is a popular breakfast dish based on raw rolled oats and other ingredients including grains,fresh or dried fruits,seeds and nuts,mixed with milk,soy milk, yogurt or fruit juice.It is available in a packaged dry form,ready made,or made fresh.There are slight differences between museli and granola.Please find them here.Recent days Sendhil is taking store bought museli & granola bars to his office to have it during break time.As u all know store bought brands are very costly.So i wanted to give it a try at home.When i browsed for the same, i found a very simple and easy recipe here.Its just a three step process.I did some changes in the original recipe and tried it.It came out very well and crunchy.Anyone can make it with easily available ingredients

- Grease a baking tray with little cooking oil and spread the museli mixture all over the plate.Pre Heat oven in convection mode at 180 c for 10 minutes.Then keep this plate and bake at 180 c in convection mode for 20 –25 minutes.Remove it once in 10 minutes,mix well with a spatula and again bake it.The color of raisins and cranberries would turn golden brown with a nice baked smell.The oats will turn crunchy.Remove after 20 minutes and let it cool completely.After it cools down,it will become super crunchy.Store in an air tight bottle and use as needed.
