Gula Melaka Granola (Palm Sugar granola) 椰糖格兰诺拉麦片

I have been making homemade granola for breakfast, and sometime we also like to eating as snack. Usually i made it using maple syrup or honey, but this time i tried with gula melaka version, and added homemade dried coconut flakes and pineapple , so tropical feel !

Homemade granola is easy, just mix wet ingredients with dry ingredients, then bake . It is so much healthy to homemade granola as we know what we put in !!

Adding egg white made it more crisp..

My homemade dried pineapples and coconut flakes, so time consuming!! Especially for pineapples, it took like 8hrs in oven to dry ( 80C with fan forced)..next time might consider to purchase from outside, hehehe..

Beside gula melaka version, i also share here another using Maple syrup version which my kids prefer this version.
