My family has recently gotten into granola in a big way. Its a nice, hearty breakfast for those days when we need something snappy.
From the Ayurvedic perspective it is a bit dry for some people (such as myself) whose bodies predominate in cold and dry energies, and so I eat mine in warm almond milk to make it more nourishing for my system. I started making my own granola when I once tried to buy it, and was appalled at the price- at least for the balanced, clean kind that I wanted. Over the last year I have been playing with it a bunch, and this is where it has settled.
Recipe:
4 cups rolled oats 1/2 cup coconut oil 1/4 cup jaggery syrup or maple syrup 3/4 cup nuts and seeds (I use a mix of hazelnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, black sesame seeds, cashews and almonds) 1/4 cup dried fruit ( I use raisins and apricots cut into pieces) 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder 1/2 tsp dried ginger powder Toss everything together in a large mixing bowl (except the cinnamon and ginger, and the dried fruit). Spread it out into a flat baking tray. Bake in the oven at 350 degree for 20 minutes, and stir once at the halfway point. Once out, it will keep cooking, and dry out a bit more. As soon as I pull it out, I add my powdered spices and the dried fruit for them all to integrate together. Enjoy! Comments are closed.
