| EASY HEALTHY HOMEMADE GRANOLA RECIPE Prep Time: 10 min Total Time: 20 min Serves 4-6 Use raw, organic ingredients whenever possible. These measurements are flexible; don’t worry too much about being exact. Ingredients: 2 cups raw, whole rolled oats (aka old fashion oats) ½ cup raw nuts, chopped ¼ cup raw seeds (sunflower or pumpkin seeds are great) ½ cup unsweetened dried fruit, chopped (optional) 2-3 tablespoons grade-b maple syrup or raw honey (or a combo of both) 2 tbsp virgin coconut oil or other healthy cooking oil ½ tsp vanilla extract or almond extract 1 large pinch fine sea salt Recipe: Preheat the oven to 300º F. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and use your clean hands to mix well and toss to coat; it will be sticky and messy but that’s the fun part. The coconut oil might be liquid or solid depending on the temperature of the room you are in (it has a melting point of about 75ºF.) Your hands will warm it up and melt it into the mixture if it’s solid, just be sure to mix it all through the other ingredients so there aren’t any chunks of oil left. Spread the mixture in a thin layer on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, until very lightly toasted. (To make this recipe completely raw-friendly, dehydrate the mixture 5-6 hours at 115ºF in a food dehydrator instead.) Cool before serving or storing. This granola can be kept in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks. I keep mine in a mason jar in the refrigerator at home and in a BPA-free plastic bag when traveling. My advice is to get creative! Use any combo of healthy ingredients to make it your own flavor. Here are a few ideas to get you started: HEALTHY HOMEMADE MAPLE ALMOND GRANOLA 2 cups raw, whole rolled oats ½ cup sliced raw almonds ¼ cup raw sunflower seeds 2 tbsp maple syrup (100% maple syrup, preferably grade-b) 1 tbsp raw honey 1 tbsp + 1 tsp coconut oil (aka coconut butter) ¼ tsp vanilla extract 1 large pinch fine sea salt HEALTHY HOMEMADE CHERRY PECAN GRANOLA 2 cups raw, whole rolled oats ½ cup raw pecans, chopped ½ cup unsweetened dried cherries, chopped ¼ cup raw sliced almond ¼ cup raw sunflower seeds 2 tbsp maple syrup (100% maple syrup, preferably grade-b) 1 tbsp + 1 tsp coconut oil (aka coconut butter) ¼ tsp vanilla extract 1 large pinch fine sea salt P.S. Homemade granola will taste like burnt popcorn if you overcook it; keep it at a low temperature just for a 8-10 minutes to let it come together. - See more at: http://www.elizabethrider.com/easy-healthy-homemade-granola-recipe/#sthash.GPMJeJ18.dpuf |
