Honey Nut Baked Granola
Crunchy oat clusters baked in the oven with almonds, walnuts, coconut and pumpkin seeds and a touch of natural honey. Although the ingredients are wholesome, baking the oats with fat and honey raises their energy density, giving a low glycemic index (≈52) and a concentrated carbohydrate load that calls for attention to portion size.

💡 Smart Nutritional Guidance
Consumption advice
Treat granola as a crunchy topping, not a full bowl: sprinkle just two tablespoons (about 30 grams) over a cup of plain Greek yoghurt to add protein and slow the absorption of the sugars.
Best preparation methods
Make it at home for full control over the ingredients: mix whole oats with coconut oil and raw nuts, use just one spoonful of honey with a pinch of cinnamon and vanilla, and bake until golden and crisp.
Important Nutritional Note
Ready-made supermarket granola is often loaded with refined oils and concentrated corn syrup, so checking the ingredient list and sticking to the set portion protects you from hidden glucose spikes.
