Healthy sweets with nuts and granola are lean sweets, which require a blender, preheated oven and a sheet of baking paper. Very simple recipe that will master even an inexperienced cook.
Granola - a mixture of flattened oatmeal, honey, nuts and seeds, baked to a crispy state. You can make candy from the finished granola, however, in my opinion, it is easier and faster to prepare the ingredients separately, and then mix.

Method of making lean sweets with nuts and granola
We heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Pour oatmeal - oat-flakes on a baking tray with non-stick coating, add cane sugar, mix and put the baking tray in the middle of the heated oven.
Fry the flakes in just a few minutes. In order not to burn, gently mix with a spatula.
Thoroughly wash the raisins and prunes, put them in a bowl of cold boiled water, leave for 2-3 hours. Soaked dried fruits are well washed, thrown back on a sieve.
Add honey to dried fruits, put the ingredients in a blender and turn them into a homogeneous mass. If the mass is very thick, add some cold boiled water.
This fruit puree will serve as a kind of glue for sweets.
Pour a mixture of nuts on a baking sheet, send it to the oven, bake for a few minutes. Always cook the nuts in the oven, not in the pan, so they evenly roast and will not burn.
I took several kinds of nuts, a little of each, diversity is always pleasant and useful.
Pour the seeds of sunflower and pumpkin into a frying pan with a thick bottom, fry over a small fire, as soon as the pumpkin seeds start clicking, remove the pan from the fire.
Sesame seeds are browned until golden brown, be careful, these small seeds are roasted almost instantly.
Toasted nuts, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds are shipped to a blender, ground. You can grind the seeds to the state of flour, but it will be tastier if you make a coarse grinding. Put ground nuts in a bowl, add roasted flakes, dried fruit puree and a large half of sesame seeds. Add cocoa powder and ground ginger.
Put the ingredients in a blender, turn them into puree. If you like "textured" candy, then just mix the products with a spoon and leave for 20 minutes so that the flakes absorb moisture.
In a teaspoon we form small balls of the same size, spread on a sheet of parchment.
Sprinkle healthy lean sweets with nuts and granola with the remaining sesame seeds, put them in the fridge for an hour.
Brew fresh tea and enjoy a healthy homemade dessert. Lean sweets with nuts and granola are ready. Enjoy your meal!
