Holy Granola! Another Sweet & Sassy Recipe for Veganuary
Posted on December 23, 2009 in the Uncategorized category
After writing this blog for about 4 years now, I’ve discovered a lot about myself…I love to eat!
I also like to share. So it is with the spirit of both of those, that I present to you my super secret but scrumptious Granola – to prepare for Veganuary – HORRAY!
This is my Pop’s and Pop-in-Law’s favourite (or so they tell me – and they wouldn’t lie to me, would they? Not if they want more granola, right??!!). So without further adieu…
Super Sweet & Sassy Granola – Kristin Style:
In a big bowl:
- Rolled Oats (I like organic)
- Mixed Nuts – broken in small pieces – Almonds are especially healthy
- Coconut Flakes
- Sunflower Seeds
- Olive Oil
- Maple Syrup
- Honey
Mix together with your hands until the Oil, Syrup & Honey cover all other ingredients. Heat oven to 150 (in Aus) and stir every 15 minutes. If your oven is too hot, cook at lower degrees. It will take about 45 – 60 minutes.
It’s ready when the oats are golden and taste crunchy.
You can add sultanas (raisins), dried cranberries or carob chips – you can even experiment with different kinds of nuts. The possibilities are endless.
This will keep for quite a while in a container in the fridge. Tastes awesome with soy milk.
I know this is delicious because when I make a new batch, Rob eats it for brekkie, lunch & tea everyday until I yell at him to stop eating it so fast. If that is not a positive testimonial, I don’t know what is!
Happy & healthy eating!!!

Sounds great, but whart are the amouts?
Hi Missy – that is a great question – I just play around with them but a couple cups of oats and 1 cup of nuts, half cup of coconut, and then you can try 1/4 cup of each liquid if that covers all the ingredients and gets them a bit damp.
Remember the oven degrees is in Celsius – You can probably have it at 300 – 350 depending on how fast you want it to cook. The slower the better.
Love ya! xoxo
