Homemade Cocoa Granola

Morning 🙂

Only a couple of days left until back to school, which I am sooooooo not looking forward to lol

Now I cannot wait for March to come, for Spring break hahahha What a lazy mum here, hey 😛

Yesterday I prepared granola for breakfast which surprisingly my 5 yo was so crazy about it he ended up having 2 small bowls that morning. That did not stop there. After lunch he asked again, for another 2 small bowls. Made me happy big time, like mission accomplished 😀

So, naturally I will be sharing how I made the granola, right meow 😉

My 8 years old prefers with additional fresh fruits and drizzle of maple syrup.

This granola can be served as cereal, snack, and yogurt topping. You can turn them as bars as well, with a little adjustment to the way you prepare it 🙂

The recipe makes about 5 cups!

This granola has all sorts of goodies, from grains, seeds, nuts, dried fruits, to tree-nut. I had cocoa powder in the mixture as well, to lure the kids, and it worked 😛

Here is the recipe, and it makes about 5 cups granola 🙂

Pagi Teman!

Libur Natal telah berakhir, euy. Hari Senin dah balik sekolah, ga seru ah hahahha

2 minggu libur serasa kurang aja deh. Aku seneng banget kalau ga ada sekolah karena tau sendiri kan, di luar negeri tuh sering ada orang gila nyasar ke sekolah, ke mall, kemanapun, terus menyakiti (baca: nembak membabi-buta sana-sini) orang lain. Selalu deh hati ketar-ketir, takut kalau ada kejadi serupa di sekolah anakku lah, atau pas kami belanja kebutuhan dapur lah, tidak damai hati, euy.

Anyway-busway. Seperti biasa, tentunya hari ini mau berbagi resep hahaha Makan mulu, ga gendut, ga pulang wkwkwkwk

Aku bikin sereal buat anak-anak kemarin dan anakku yang bungsu, ya ampuuuuun, suka banget sampai dia makan bermangkuk-mangkuk, su-er deh!

Campuran:
