If you have stored cinnamon as a pure "Christmas spice," you will miss out on a lot during the remaining eleven months of the year. Because even apart from punch, Christmas cookies, and the like, cinnamon refines many sweets throughout the year and is also ideal as a secret ingredient for homemade granola or oatmeal .
Cinnamon stimulates both circulation and digestion and is therefore the ideal supplement for a healthy breakfast. Due to these, as well as its antihypertensive, antispasmodic, and concentration-promoting properties, it is one of the most important Ayurvedic spices .

Ingredients
- 400 g oatmeal
- 80 g cashews or other nuts of your choice
- 1 tbsp flaxseed
- 60 g dates
- 3 tablespoons sunflower oil or melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 pinch of nutmeg
- 1 pinch of salt
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
Preparation
-
Preheat oven to 180°C top/bottom heat. Line the baking tray with baking paper.
-
Cut dates into small pieces.
-
Place all dry ingredients (oatmeal, cashew nuts, flaxseed, date pieces, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt) in a bowl and mix well.
-
Mix the oil and maple syrup until a homogeneous liquid is formed.
-
Pour the oil-maple syrup mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well so that everything is evenly covered.
-
Spread the mixture on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes. For an even tan, gently turn 2-3 times in between. When the granola is slightly browned, it is ready.
-
Serve as desired with (vegetable) yogurt, milk, or plant-based drink and fresh fruit.
Tip
Attention! Since granola burns easily, do not forget to turn it in between, and keep a close eye on it, especially towards the end of the baking time.
