Rose Granola
Quick post here, this is part of a bigger post but I had to break it down because it’s too much. If you like rose scented things you will love this. I love rose flavored macarons, but it works beautifully with granola.
Dip rose petals into the agave nectar. I use agave nectar because it is looser than honey.
Coat the rose in sugar.
Chop the fresh roses like you would do to any herb.
Take your hands and mix it all together. I used plain granola just sweetened with honey, there are no nuts or any other flavorings in this granola, that’s key because you don’t want the rose flavor to compete with anything else. Then, let this bake in the oven at a low temperature, may take anywhere from 15-30 minutes to harden again. The roses were dipped in agave and sugar coated so the granola will be sticky. Baking it will make it crunchier and bring the strong scent of the rose out.
Add to your favorite cereal, watch your milk turn slightly pink. A good thing to wake up to, and easy to make.
Love this, gorgeous!
Another captivating post. Thank you!

i’ve just returned from Bulgaria (everything is scented with roses there) and had to give away to my friends all rose jam i’ve brought with me. Thank you sooo much for the idea, i’ll try to bakedipped roses without granola and then put on top of an apple cake.
This looks like the perfect pick-me-up snack. Have you ever tried rose nectar? It’s perfect with champagne!
As a granola and rose lover, this is really genius! I’ve tried cocoa nibs in my granola before, but I’ll definitely try rose. Thanks for the idea!
totally wonderful idea … can’t wait to try this …
That looks exciting! Usually I think roses tastes kinda fake, but it’d be cool to taste it en different combos

Bulgarian cuisine is quite good no? I imagine the location physically (climate-wise), and culturally would make for mind blowing food.
I wish I could be paid to travel!
OMGoodness, this is totally unreal! Rose granola never crossed my mind, and looks easy AND amazing! Thanks for sharing!

this is prettttyyyyyyy!
ohhhhh…this looks delicious! I am definitely making some this week.
Do you buy your roses anywhere special? I’d assume the standards available at corner markets or grocers are treated with pesticides, making them inedible.
your posts are always captivating and so creative!
you should specify though that the roses must be certified organically grown. grocery or florist roses are drenched in crazy amounts of pesticides and fungicides when they make their trip from south america.

Your rosy breakfast seems particularly interesting to me, due to the fact that I am Bulgarian. The rose is so overused around here, it seems boring to eat, smell or even look at.
A side note: Bulgarian cuisine is bland, greasy, heavy, pork-based, bread-based – your food posts always push me to challenge myself and think outside the Bulgarian-box.
Thank you.
So charming. Makes me smile for some unknown reason…
i LOVE rose flavored things like rose gelato…candy…and i love lavender too!!! beauuuutiful pictures as always!
very creative use of rose granola. I’ll try it, but don’t think it will look as good as yours.
beautiful. would make a romantic gift.
do you buy regular roses, or do they have to be meant to be eaten?
@I would use roses that you are meant to eat.
