I finally made raw granola (based on kandace
recipe on gone raw ) two days ago and Akom really likes it. Here is the recipe:
Sprouting: 1 day
Soaking: 1 hour
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Dehydrating: 16 hours
1 cup oat groats (these must be sprouted which turns into about 1 3/4 cups)
1 cup medjool dates (soaked for at least 1 hour in 1 cup water)
1 diced apple
1/4 cup dried coconut flakes
1/4 cup unsoaked sunflower seeds
1/2 cup unsoaked almonds
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. vanilla powder (use more if you are using extract)
Note: soaking the sunflower seeds and almonds do make them easier to digest
1) Blend dates, soak water, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla powder
2) Mix date mixture with all other ingredients
3) Spread on teflex sheet
4) Dehydrate at 115 degrees for 16 hours (or desired crispiness)
5) Enjoy!
Akom has been snacking on this since I made it. Today he had it as a meal with unsweetened kefir. I on the other hand am very used to store bought granola - so really crunchy. I think because of the apples it doesn't become crunchy like that, so I have not had this as cereal.
I found that raw oat groats are hard to find. I bought them from
Sprout People. A little expensive but I think the quality is worth it.
