GRANOLA....how to make healthy and delicious homemade granola
I love making my own granola, and this is my favorite combination of ingredients which produces a healthy and tasty batch every time. Most often we eat it with plain, whole milk yogurt, but this granola is also delicious on ice cream or in a bowl with almond milk (or any milk of your choosing) I always include chia seeds and hemp hearts because of their high nutrient value, but those are optional. Sometimes I add raw pumpkin seeds. The possibilities are endless. If you like a sweeter granola, add 2-3 tablespoons of coconut sugar.
Fill a tall jar, add a bow, and it makes a wonderful gift!
Homemade Healthy Granola
3 1/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup sliced or slivered raw almonds
3/4 cup raw pecans
1/2 - 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
3 tablespoons chia seeds
3 tablespoons hemp hearts/seeds
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup PURE maple syrup
1/2 cup, plus 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil ( or any unflavored oil, like avocado oil)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
4 ounces dried blueberries, raisins OR cranberries ( or more if you prefer)
METHOD
Preheat oven to 300 F.
Cover a large sheet pan ( with 1 inch sides) with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine oats, almonds, pecans, coconut, chia seeds, hemp hearts, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir well.
Melt 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons coconut oil. Add pure maple syrup, vanilla and almond extracts to oil. Pour over dry ingredients and mix well to coat everything evenly.
Pour contents of your bowl onto the sheet pan, spreading to cover to edges of pan. Press granola with back of spatula. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until granola is deep golden brown. Do not stir while baking.
Remove from oven and let cool completely, and do NOT stir while it is cooling!
Add dried fruit to completely cooled granola and break up into chunks and store in an airtight container for a week or two.
Serve over yogurt or ice cream, or eat like cereal with milk of your choice.
Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart......
