Tummy Grumbles for Granola
There’s something nice about a big glass jar of granola sitting perched on the kitchen counter - don’t you think? I’m not sure what it is? It’s probably linked to my obsession with food and lifestyle magazines who feature perfectly styled kitchens with a big jar of perfectly roasted golden granola on the bench top. The granola I can achieve, the perfectly clean kitchen - no! Well, maybe for five seconds once a week.
Search the web and you will find a zillion trillion recipes for granola. It’s nothing ground breaking but it’s popularity is definitely warranted for its taste and versatility. My version here mingles mesquite powder with dried cranberries, shavings of coconut and plenty of seeds. Mingled together this combo made a delicious mix of golden crunchiness which looks nearly to good to eat.
Granola can be enjoyed in so many ways. 1/2 cup with a splash of almond milk/goats yoghurt and fruit or with this cashew cream serves me beautifully each morning. It works pretty nicely as a snack as well.
Granola
Makes approx 4 - 5 cups
Dry Mix:
1 cup coconut shards
2 cup oats (preferably gluten free if you can get them)
1/3 cup pepitas
1/3 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup golden flax
1/3 cup dried cranberries
2 Tbs cacao nibs
2 Tbs hemp seeds
2 Tbs mesquite powder (opitonal)
3/4 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup raw almonds
leftover vanilla bean pod (see wet mix below)
Wet Mix:
1/2 cup coconut water
1/2 cup brown rice syrup
1/4 - 1/3 cup coconut oil
seeds of a vanilla bean, removed
Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius
Place dry mix into a large mixing bowl, combine and set aside
Whisk together wet ingredients
Add wet ingredients to dry mix and mix well ensuring that dry ingredients are well coated with wet mix
Evenly spread the mix out of a baking sheet lined with baking paper
Place in the oven for 15 - 20 mins
Stir regularly to promote even cooking
Keep an eye on it that it doesn’t burn as it can happen quickly
When nicely golden and evenly roasted remove from the oven and allow to cool before finding your own special jar to perch on your counter.

I love hemp seeds and experimenting with mesquite a little myself too. This is a fantastic fructose free granola recipe - scraped vanilla beans, that's genius!
ReplyDeleteI love putting dried cranberries in my granola too - and also display the fruits of my labour in glass jars in the kitchen along with the 'good' tea towel that no one is allowed to use x
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Sherilyn! I hope things are going well with your new adventures :) xx
ReplyDeleteMy tummy grumbles for this now too- yummo!
ReplyDeleteYes those beautiful glass jars lining kitchen counters in the magazine get me too, if only my kitchen counters weren't already so crowded!
ReplyDeleteTheir kitchens are so pretty but so unrealistic! Sometimes I think those lifestyle and cooking magazines are the food/kitchen counterpart of beauty mags that feature girls so photoshopped it makes you feel inadequate... But I'm addicted to them, either way ;)
ReplyDeleteYour granola looks amazing and I bet it's better to have your kitchen magazine-perfect for only 5 seconds a week if it means the rest of the time you are experimenting in the kitchen, doing what you love, and spending time with your family!
How fantastic! I love the photos. I even set the last one as my wallpaper!
