Description
This granola is so delicious, and also gluten-free and vegan too!
Ingredients
2 cups GF oats
2 tablespoons wholegrain teff
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons melted unrefined coconut oil
2 tablespoons agave
1 teaspoon pure almond extract or vanilla
Pinch sea salt
1/4 cup dry roasted hazelnuts or other nut of choice
1/2 cup dried fruit, such as a mix of dried diced pineapple and mango or dried cranberries and pineapple
1/4 cup toasted unsweetened coconut flakes, optional
Instructions
On a medium-sized microwaveable bowl, combine the oats, teff, brown sugar, coconut oil, agave, almond extract, and pinch salt, and mix well until oats are thoroughly coated. I like to use either a spoon or a gloved hand for this. Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on full power for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Give it a stir and continue cooking for another 1 minute and 30 seconds. Stir again and cook another for 1 minute. Stir in the nuts and cook 1 more minute. Give it a stir and look at the color. It should be golden brown. If not, microwave another 30 seconds. Repeat until golden brown. It may take a little less or more time, depending on the strength of your microwave.
Remove bowl from microwave and set on counter. Stir in the dried fruit and let cool in bowl. Once completely cool, the granola should be nice and crisp. Store in an air-tight jar or zip top bag.
