Ingredients
Dry ingredients
3 cups of oats
½ cup of almonds
½ of walnuts
½ cup of pepitas
¼ cup of cinnamon
1 tb spoon of tumeric
½ tea spoon of ginger
Wet ingredients
1 cup of chickpeas
⅓ cup of peanut butter
A quarter cup of rice malt syrup
A quarter of a cup of water
1 tea spoon of vanilla extract
¼ of rice protein powder
1 tb spoon of hemp flour or quinoa flour or chic pea flour
Add-on ingredients
½ cup of goji berries
½ cup of dried cranberries
¼ cup of hemp seeds
Recipe
Preheat your oven at 170 degrees
Step 1
Chop the nuts.
Combine and mix the dry ingredients together. Reserve.
Step 2
Mix the wet ingredients together except the water. You can smash the chickpeas before hand with a fork or a mixer if you prefer. You should obtain a pretty smooth texture.
Step 3
Add water to have a smoother texture. Add little bits by little bits so it does not get too liquid. If the texture was already pretty smooth (step 2), don’t add water.
Step 4
Miz the dry and wet ingredients together. I usually pour the wet part and then use my hands to mix it.
Step 5
Pour the granola on a baking tray with baking paper and flatten it. You can now bake it in the oven for 30 minutes. I check now and then to see where it’s at but usually when it’s smelling so good in my kitchen it’s ready.
Sometimes the granola is a bit soft, so I turn the oven off and leave it to dry in the oven for another 30 minutes.
Step 6
Once it’s a bit cooler I add the goji berries, cranberries and hemp seeds.
I then break the granola and mix with the last ingredients and pour into a jar and try not to eat it all straight away.
If you like granola, cereals and really looking for a healthy vegan alternative, you really have to try this recipe. It will give you so much energy in the morning and fill you up with vitamins and minerals. I usually serve mine with homemade soy yogurt, fruits and chia seeds.
