Eating cereal from boxes? 04/10/2010
Hmm. Are you a cereal person? Do you eat lots of processed flakes and clusters found in a box? Move away from those processed foods and into a more natural cereal by making your own; It is easy! The recipe below is what I made last night for breakfast this morning. (And it made enough to keep us eating it daily for a while!) These ingredients are what we had in the house but you can use just about any nut, fruit or seed you like! Just be sure to dry it long enough that everything gets dry and doesn't retain any moisture. That way it'll keep well! yum yummy gRAWnola Makes about 6 cups grawnola FOR GRANOLA 1 c. pumpkin seeds 1 c. black or tan sesame seeds 1 c. walnuts or pecans 1 c. shredded or flaked coconut 1/2 c. raisins 1/2 c. dried tart cherries 2 c. fresh or frozen blueberries FOR PASTE 6 Medjool Dates, pitted juice of 2 oranges 1/4 c. honey, maple syrup or agave nectar 1 Tblsp. Cinnamon Now, soak your seeds and/or nuts for 20 minutes or so then rinse and drain. Mix all the granola ingredients together. Blend all the PASTE ingredients together and then pour onto the granola. Mix well. Dehydrate at 104 until dry. You can smooth it out before dehydrating and then cut into bars or just dry and then break into pieces. Eat it as is or pour your favorite nutmilk over it and eat it that way. We had this for breakfast this morning and it ROCKED! Dehydrate it completey and then store it in an airtight container. Will keep for a month or so as long as it is dried out well. If you do not have a dehydrator, then dry it out in your oven on the lowest temp. possible until completely dry. Here is to your health! In peace, Kirsten CommentsLeave a Reply |
