Grain Free Granola

May 22, 2015 By Hana 2 Comments

Grain Free Granola

I make this yummy Grain Free Granola for my husband. He doesn’t do very well with oats in the morning and this is a great and very tasty alternative. I use his favourite – walnuts mixed with cashews, seeds, coconut flakes and dates topped with coconut oil and maple syrup. You probably guess this tastes pretty good! Fantastic with some almond milk, yoghurt, coconut cream, topped with some fresh berries; delicious! Perfect for breakfast or snacking, you will definitely find plenty of occasions to eat some.

Grain Free Granola

This granola is very simple and easy to make, not much to go wrong except burning it:( so do keep an eye on the oven when making it, it doesn’t take very long to bake. You could change the walnuts and cashews with other nuts to your taste, whichever ones are your favourites. And once it’s ready take a moment for yourself and enjoy some peaceful moments. This one is not just for the men who like their walnuts!

  4. In a pan melt coconut oil together with maple syrup and pour over the mixture.
  5. Mix well and spoon the mixture onto a baking tray.
  6. Bake for 10 min and stir.
  7. Bake for further 10 min stirring once in between.
  8. After 20 min your granola should be nicely brown and ready.
  9. Stir in coconut flakes and chopped dates and return to the oven for 3-5 more minutes until the coconut flakes are nicely toasted, but be careful not to burn the granola. You can skip this step if you prefer the coconut flakes untoasted.

    As well as the heavenly pea dip, I was also lucky enough to taste this granola yesterday which worked brilliantly well as a snack alongside a cup of tea! I can imagine this being perfect for breakfast too – the clusters of oats you often find in granola I find a little heavy, but this version made up mainly of toasted nuts and seeds is really light and delicious. I’ll try this myself too – highly recommended after trying yours Hana! Tx

This year has been a lot for me about the lower chakras and ancestral clearing and this Beetroot Hibiscus Tart sums it up beautifully for me. We’re entering a new cycle this Winter Solstice, what are you letting go off and what are you inviting into your Life?
