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 .

“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.

Granola without sugar

Granola without added sugar is possible. Since we are talking about a very flaky breakfast product here, you can do it without sugar.

It's different with crunchy muesli. Without the syrup, the mass of cereal flakes, oil and possible other ingredients will not hold together and will fall apart during baking . If you want to get the typical, beautiful and crispy clusters, you have to use syrup .

Crunchy muesli with low sugar

More and more people attach great importance to a healthy diet - preferably prepared quickly. But to prevent the crunchy muesli from falling apart when baking low, you have to use syrup, which usually contains a large amount of sugar... In order to keep the sugar content as low as possible, we're always looking for alternatives and so far we've had these, among other things found in tapioca and rice syrup.

And we actually have an organic crunchy muesli with low sugar. That’s because we use tapioca syrup, a high-fiber sugar alternative, for our Krunchy Low Sugar organic crunchy muesli. The result is a wonderful, crunchy organic granola that is as low in sugar as it is delicious - in the flavors Very Berry (berry), Crazy Nuts (nut) and Plain Grain (base). So you avoid sugar without having to sacrifice taste.

Vegan granola

More and more people also want to enjoy vegan granola or crunchy muesli for breakfast. With Barnhouse Krunchy this is also perfectly possible.

With the exception of two varieties (Krunchy Chocolate and Krunchy Honey ), all Krunchys are vegan .

A simple oat granola and crunchy muesli is too boring for you in the long run? In addition to the option of simply mixing your favorite ingredients yourself, you can also use unusual crunchy mueslis:
