Homemade Vegan Granola

I love homemade vegan granola! It´s packed with nutrients and there´s so many variations depending on what you like and how nutritious you want it. Granola is quick and easy to make, easy to store, and perfect for breakfast and as a snack. Or even as a dessert if you add it to nice cream

Easy to store and take with you in a glass jar

Mix the granola with a chia pudding with fruits or a smoothie bowl, and you’ve got the fruits of the day covered. Add more nuts and seeds, or turmeric/spirulina/maca powder and you’ve got those superfoods in too! Use it with dairy free yoghurt or plant milk with calcium and some added vitamin b 12, d2. You can add spices like cinnamon and natural sweetener like stevia or carob syrup if you want. Sometimes I use maple syrup too. For The Olive Tree Sanctuary I made them sugar free

Easy homemade banana granola (sugar free)

I use organic where it is possible. I also mix different nut depends on what taste I want. I love them all. Walnuts, almonds, hazel, brazil nuts, cashew and pecan.

• 500 gr of oats (porridge/rolled)
• 4 tbs of coconut oil
• 3 big ripe bananas
• 1 cups of nuts of your choice
• 1/2 cup of flaxseeds
• 1/2 cup of hot water (use a small cup, and add more if the granola is too dry, but it´s not suppose to be sloppy wet!)

Preheat the oven to 175 degrees.

Melt the coconut oil, mash the bananas mix together with 1 cup of hot water (to make the granola stick together). If you’re making granola without bananas, add 1/2 cup natural syrup.

Use a big bowl and mix oats, nuts and flaxseeds. Add the bowl of mixed bananas, coconut oil and water (here it´s nice to add 2 table spoons of maple syrup if you want). Mix together.

Use a big tray or two. Place in the middle in the oven. Turn after 15 min. Bake until golden brown color. Mine is usually baked for about 30-40 min. And I leave them in the oven with the door slightly open to cool down. OBS!! Granola burns easily, so you might want to keep a look at it….and reduce the heat when baking it longer.

When the granola is cooled off, mix in what ever you want of:

• seeds (more flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds ect.)
• dried fruit (apricots, bananas, figs, dates, prunes ect.)
• dried berries (goji, cranberries, raisins, blueberries ect.)
• coconut chips (I love this in granola)
• organic corn flakes

Store the granola in air-tight glass yars. The granola can be easily stored for a few of weeks. I usually finish this batch in one to two weeks. Breakfast and night meal.
