Let’s make
Granola
with our Recipe Hunter, Robyn Pantin
Ingredients:
• 2 cups raw, whole rolled oats (aka old fashion oats)
• 1/2 cup raw nuts, chopped
• 1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds (sunflower seeds are also great)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened dried fruit, chopped (optional)
• 2-3 tbsp organic blue agave nectar (feel free to swap the agave
with some grade-b maple syrup or raw honey)
• 2 tbsp virgin coconut oil or other healthy cooking oil
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract or almond extract. •1 large pinch fine sea salt
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and use your clean hands to mix well and toss to coat; it will be sticky and messy but that's the fun part.
The coconut oil might be liquid or solid depending on the temperature of the room you are in (it has a melting point of about 75 degrees F). Your hands will warm it up and melt it into the mixture if it's solid, just be sure to mix it all through the other ingredients so there aren't any chunks of oil left. Spread the mixture in a thin layer on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, until very lightly toasted.
To make this recipe completely raw-friendly, dehydrate the mixture 5-6 hours at 115 degrees F in a food dehydrator instead.
Cool before serving or storing. This granola can be kept in an air-tight container in a cool, dry place for up to two weeks.
