Granola, crunchy muesli and crunchy are terms that everyone has encountered before. But do they all mean the same thing or is there a difference between granola and crunchy muesli? And what is Crunchy?

Everything describes baked muesli. The difference, however, is as follows: granola is much flakier than a granola. And when you think of crunchy muesli, you can think of baked nuggets made from cereal flakes and other ingredients. At Barnhouse, we call these clusters.

Crunchy (original translation = crispy) is simply the English term for crunchy muesli.

To better illustrate this, here is a picture that shows the difference between crunchy muesli (left) and granola:

What is granola anyway?

Granola and crunchy muesli are breakfast meals that are also eaten as a snack . The basis for both is cereal flakes such as oats or spelt, oil and sugar in the form of syrup or honey, for example. By the way, most of the Barnhouse Krunchys are baked with oatmeal. One exception, for example, is Krunchy spelt, which - as the name suggests - is made from spelt.

While some granola and crunchy muesli manufacturers use palm fat for the oil, all Barnhouse Krunchys are baked exclusively with sunflower oil .

What does ‘granola’ actually mean?

Muesli and granola, what's the difference?

For many people, muesli is the general term for granola, crunchy muesli etc. Although the ingredients are the same for muesli, granola and crunchy muesli, the difference lies in how they are made. While cereal flakes are mixed with nuts, fruit and seeds in muesli and are ready to eat straight away, the ingredients in granola and crunchy muesli are baked first.

“Granola is unhealthy”. This statement is not entirely correct. The breakfast meal provides a lot of dietary fiber and important vitamins and minerals. Oatmeal is a true superfood . The complex carbohydrates not only keep you full longer, but also boost your digestion and prevent cravings.

The grain also contains the important vitamins B1, B6 and E as well as the minerals iron, magnesium, calcium and phosphorus.

Crispy muesli with less sugar

More and more people are attaching great importance to a healthy diet - preferably prepared quickly. However, to prevent crunchy muesli from falling apart during baking, we have to resort to syrup, which usually contains a large amount of sugar... To keep the sugar content as low as possible, we are alsways looking for alternatives and have so far found them in tapioca and rice syrup.

We actually have an organic crunchy muesli with low sugar. We use tapioca syrup, a high-fibre sugar alternative, for our Krunchy Low Sugar. The result is a wonderful, crunchy organic crunchy muesli that is as low in sugar as it is delicious - in the flavours Silly Seeds (seeds & kernels), Very Berry (berries), Crazy Nuts (nuts) and Plain Grain (base). So you avoid unnecessary sugar without having to sacrifice flavour.

Vegan granola

More and more people want to enjoy vegan granola or crunchy muesli for breakfast.

With the exception of a few varieties, our Krunchys are vegan, e.g. Krunchy Chocolate Nut, Chocolate Chunks and Joy Cocoa.

Sweet krunchy mueslis for in-between meals

Granola and crunchy muesli are considered breakfast meals, but sweet krunchy mueslis for in-between meals are also very popular - whether as a second breakfast, in-between meals to combat the afternoon slump or as a dessert in the evening.
