Directions
Homemade Granola,I love homemade granola–I discovered it this spring when I found about 10 recipes for granola on the internet. This is my favorite conglomeration. Sometimes I add some sesame oil too, either in addition to or in place of the vegetable oil. Enjoy!,Excellent jump off point for a homemade granola! Here’s how we modify it to suit our family’s needs. First, we use whole oats that we put through a FlicFloc hand grain flaker to make freshly rolled oats. These are AWESOME this way! We sprout the almonds first and then dehydrate them so they’ve got a little crunch. We crush them so they’re “like” slivered almonds but a bit different. We don’t use any vegetable oils. Instead, we use coconut oil as it’s one of the healthiest non-animal oils available. Sometimes we use honey, sometimes maple syrup. We substitute coconut sugar for the brown sugar. Coconut sugar has a glycemic index of 35, so this is a great substitute for high glycemic sugars. It has a great, intense flavor similar to brown sugar so it’s a perfect swap. We add dried cranberries, dried goldenberries, dried mulberries, dried goji berries and/or dried blueberries. Berries are SO HEALTHY and provide a great deal of phytochemicals and antioxidants so I add them to as many recipes as i can. 🙂 Sometimes I sprout a few Brazil nuts and dehydrate and crack them like I do the almonds. Each normal-sized Brazil nut has about 130% of the selenium you need in a day, which is awesome. So I try to add a few of these when I have them available. YUM! Thanks so much for the great recipe!,Excellent jump off point for a homemade granola! Here’s how we modify it to suit our family’s needs.
