Ok I am getting ready to put out another Cookbook review and as usual I cook my way through the book as much as possible. So this is my own recipe, but one of the recipes I saw in the book inspired me to make my own granola. Plus, when I was at Wholefoods, with Ben, the other night I could not find a decent gluten free granola that was not full of sugar! So I read the backs of the non-gluten free high end granola brands to see what makes them so "high-end" and gathered what I needed to make my own concoction.
Set the oven at 375 degrees
What you need:
2 to 3 cups of rolled whole oats
1/4 of cup agave nectar
2 tbsp of grape seed oil
1/4 cup of raw pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup of sliced almonds or whatever you have around
1/4 cup of sun flower seeds
1/2 cup of dried cranberries/raisins/blueberries, cherries or what ever you have around
2 tsp of chai seeds
1/2 cup of goji berries chopped in a food processor or chop by with a chefs knife works to
1/4 cup chopped un-crystallized Candied Ginger
a few pinches of cinnamon
zest of half a organic orange
pinch of sea or kosher salt
This is great on yogurt, ice cream, on morning oat meal. Ben likes to top his Trader Joe Oats with it. I will poured a small bowl and added some almond milk for a quick sweet afternoon snack. I like to make my morning shake and sprinkle granola on top and eat the shake with a spoon, yum!!!!
