Recipe Ingredients
Dried Apples and mangoes are the star ingredients that can be used in various ways – as toppings in a recipe, adding flavor, and providing a source of vitamins that benefit your health.
Rolled Oats - old-fashioned
Nuts- Slashed nuts contribute an extra sweetness to this recipe and make it even more dessert. Besides its flavor value, slashed nuts also contribute a high fats and proteins caloric ratio.
Raisins - Adding at least ¼ cup of Raisins can further improve the texture and intensify its taste quality. For instance, if raisins are not available to you or you don't like to opt for the recipe, then you can also use cranberries as an alternate ingredient.
Cinnamon Powder - The Sinnamon powder has been revered through the centuries for its sweet-hot flavor and its strong scent. One teaspoon of the Sinnamon powder will not only add fragrance to this recipe but will also fortify its delicious taste without masking the original flavor. And if you love cinnamon iced dishes, have a look at my cinnamon iced apple recipe.

How to Serve
These delicious treats pair well with several of my other Instant Pot breakfast recipes.
The Instant Pot scrambled egg recipe can add some extra protein and nutrition to your breakfast. You can also whip up some strawberry jam or any other jam recipes to serve alongside the Granola. Lastly, you can spread the jam over a toast and have it with instant pot granola for a healthier option.
If you’re looking for vegan icing recipes to serve as a side dish with it, try this Instant Pot almond milk yogurt recipe. This yogurt does not have any added sugar, so it will help balance out the sweetness while providing a creamy, smooth touch.
FAQs

Sure! I would recommend using nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, and cloves to make this dessert more fragrant and earthy. Feel free to add in any spices you would like — just make sure you use each of them in moderation.
