Instructions
Making the flaxseed "eggs"
- Grind two tablespoons flaxseed.
- Combine with 6 tablespoons water. Let it rest for about 10 mins.
Putting together the granola
- Add a cup of your choice of mixed nuts into a blender. Pulse a few times.
- Add the rolled oats and steel cut oats to the blender. Pulse the blender and mix the ingredients as needed. Pour the blended mixture into a mixing bowl.
- Add the pitted dates, flax eggs, and a ½ cup of almond milk into the blender. Pour this mixture into the mixing bowl with the remaining ½ cup of almond milk.
- Add the almond meal, pumpkin puree, and peanut butter to the mixing bowl. Mix to combine.
- Add the chia seeds, hemp hearts, pumpkin seeds, maple syrup, and unsweetened coconut to the mixing bowl. Mix to combine.
- Add salt and cinnamon to taste.
Baking the granola
- Preheat the oven to 375°.
- Spread the uncooked granola onto a baking tray. Break down any granola clusters that are too big.
- When oven is ready, place the baking tray in the oven and bake the granola for half an hour.
- After the baking time, if the granola still feels wet, you can use the oven like a dehydrator to dry it out. Turn the oven off and let the remaining heat in the oven dry out the granola.
- Serve with homemade almond milk or just as it is.
- ENJOY!
