Granola packs a fresh crunch for bakery

摘要

It's crunch time in bakery, as granola looks to make waves as an on-trend and health-conscious topping for muffins, cookies, doughnuts and more. "Granola is moving beyond the breakfast bowl and is proving to be a very versatile ingredient," says Julie Telfer, NPD manager at cereal supplier Silvery Tweed, who notes its use as a topping to add visual interest to baked goods or as an inclusion for texture. So, how can bakers capitalise on this trend? "Adding granola to a bake can bring a welcome crunch to whatever you put it in," says Rachel Higgins, chef at The Rude Health Cafe. "It adds texture and flavour."
