Receta Grain-Free Granola
A delicious and easy recipe for Grain-Free Granola, made of nuts, seeds, and coconut oil so you can have one crunchy bite after another.
I was at our annual Frontline supervisors meeting recently where one of the supervisors was proudly parading photos of his newborn son. It struck me at the moment that I go around parading photos to everyone on food. i wonder how many times they all just shook their heads with delight, while secretly saying “on no not another photo of food!”
In the middle of an all-day meeting, I had this half-baked idea to make a granola that is grain-free. One that can withstand the crunch I so longingly miss. One that I can top my morning yogurt with.
This one comes close. So close. My desire to include chocolate in the mix led to the addition of the cacao nibs. I kinda wish I added them in the end rather than while the granola was baking. Or maybe I should have chopped up some sugar free chocolate at the end? I don’t know. I loved this recipe, but I didn’t like the melted cacao nibs on the nuts.
Either way, I got the crunch I wanted and the chocolate in there too.
Gosh making homemade granola is so damn easy like a Sunday morning. That doesn’t even include the fact that it’s cheaper too.
