Golden Granola
Makes 3Ā½ cups (approx.)
1 serving = Ā¾Ā cup
INGREDIENTS
1 cup of puffed millet
Ā½ cup of buckwheat groats
Ā½ cup of almonds, roughly chopped
Ā½Ā cup of sunflower seeds
Ā½Ā cup of pumpkin seeds
Ā¾Ā cup of long thread coconut or coconut chipsĀ (unsweetened)
2 tablespoons of coconut oil, melted
1 tablespoon of rice syrup
1Ā teaspoon of pure vanilla essence
Ā¼ teaspoon of salt
Ā½ teaspoon of cinnamon
Ā½ teaspoon of ginger
To serve
Ā¼ cup of coconut yoghurtĀ (dairy free)
Ā½ cup of fresh or frozen berriesĀ (not strawberries as they can inflame the skin)Ā or other fruit in season.
METHOD
Pre-heat oven to 150 degrees celsius and line a baking tray with baking paper. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl and spread evenly over tray. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes until golden brown. Stir halfway through cooking to ensure an even bake, as the coconut tends to cook quickly on the edges. Remove from the oven and cool completely before placing in a lidded jar or sealed container.
Serve with your favourite nut or seed milk, coconut yoghurt and fruit and sprinkle over Bestow Berry Beautiful.
If serving the granola as aĀ snack, weĀ recommend mixing it with 1/4 of a cup of coconut yoghurt and a few berries. Alternatively, you can enjoy it as it is!
