  • 100 g pumpkin seeds
  • 60 g flax seeds
  • 150 g pistachios (unslated)
  • 150 g pecans
  • 50 g coca nibs

Granola - wet ingredients

  • 270 g maple syrup
  • 40 g honey (acacia)
  • 40 g vanilla paste (Nielsen-Massey)
  • 25 g olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 12 g light brown sugar
  • 34 g date syrup

Granola with yogurt and berries (1 serving)

  • 240 g yogurt (full fat)
  • 2 g vanilla paste (Nielsen-Massey)
  • 25 g agave syrup
  • 4 tbsp granola
  • 20 g berries

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat the oven to 160°C.
  • Take two large baking trays and place parchment paper on top.

Granola

  • In a large mixing bowl combine small oats, spelt flakes, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds. Mix well and set aside.
  • In the food processor combine flax seeds, pistachios, pecans, and cocoa nibs. Pulse 3-4 times or until all the ingredients are coarsely chopped.
  • Add to the bowl with the oats.
  • Mix well until all the dry ingredients are uniformly incorporated.
  • In the food processor combine maple syrup, honey, vanilla paste, extra virgin olive oil, light brown sugar, and date syrup. Pulse until a nice thick paste is formed and the sugar is uniformly incorporated without any clumps.
  • Add the sweet wet mixture to the dry ingredients.
  • Using a larger spatula mix it all until there are no dry patches of the granola mixture.
  • Let the mixture rest for at least 30 minutes for the sweet syrup paste to be incorporated in the oats.
  • Add half the granola mixture to each of the prepared baking trays. Level the granola so that the thickness is the same throughout the tray.
  • Using the spatula make little horizontal dents in the granola. This will create medium size air pockets enabling more uniform baking.
  • Bake granola for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes check the baking process. Using a large spatula fold granola over itself and spread it evenly. This will produce a more even golden color throughout.
  • Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes or until the granola is golden in color.

Yogurt, berries, and granola (1 serving)

  • In a bowl mix yogurt, vanilla paste and agave syrup.
  • Add granola and fresh berries.
  • Serve immediately.

NOTES

  1. The granola layer should not be too thick. Check that it is roughly 1 cm in thickness.
