How to make Persian Ajil Granola | PERSIAN KITCHEN | Healthy & luxurious nut & seed homemade granola

PERSIAN AJIL GRANOLA |
Persians aren’t super big on cereal, but if they were, I imagine it would look something like this …
‘Ajil’ is a traditional Iranian mixture of nuts, seeds, and dried fruits that lives permanently on coffee tables of Persian households across the globe 🌎 ready to be served up at any mehmooni, or fuel TV snacking.
Idk about you, but for me, cereal is never just for breakfast but I am tired of either cheap, unhealthy granolas full of sugar and crusty old raisins OR overly-expensive nicer granolas.
ALAS, Persian Kitchen to the rescue! Treat yourself to some homemade, nutritious Persian inspired ‘ajil’ granola.
Made with a mix of nuts and seeds you can find in any Persian pantry, this recipe is SO EASY & versatile to customise to your liking!
Packaged up nicely, it will also make for a beautiful, useful and very welcome gift 🎁
INGREDIENTS
- 125g coconut oil / butter
- 150g rolled oats
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 5tbsp pumpkin seeds
- 70g pistachios
- 70g pecan nuts
- 2 tbsp goji berries
- 5 tbsp good quality honey
I went for a mix of:
- pumpkin seeds: a good source of antioxidants, magnesium, zinc, and unsaturated fats
- pistachios: high in protein, fibre, and antioxidants
- pecan nuts: a good source of calcium, magnesium, and potassium, lovely sweet, buttery, maple-syrup like flavour
- honey: saffron infused raw British honey, full of wonderful naturally medicinal benefits
- goji berries: hailed as a superfood, rich in anti-oxidants and add a pop of colour.
NOTES:
You can use butter or coconut oil.
You can use sugar, honey, or date syrup, for sweetness.
You can use any mix of nuts, seeds & dried fruits to your liking.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
Granola is a snack I can eat any time of the day; simply serve the granola on top of a bed of plain Greek yogurt.
You can add fresh fruits, an extra drizzle of honey or even cacao nibs or coconut shavings… go wild!

@@persiankitchen_ I wish I were left handed. For a while during senior year in high school (secondary school) I tried taking class notes with my left hand, but it was really messy. I checked out your honey on your website and it seems very reasonably priced, especially considering international shipping!
