Coconut Granola
Big infusion of omega-6s. The yacón syrup is super low glycemic and rich in prebiotic fiber for the gut. A single recipe is enough for one small to medium sized cookie sheet.
Ingredients
- 3 cups nuts (macadamia, cashew, pecan, walnut, or a mix of whatever you like)
- 1/2 cup coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed or super-seed blend
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground coffee beans
- 2 tablespoons cacao
- 1 tablespoon Ceylon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 3/4 teaspoon cardamom
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon Siberian pine nut oil (see notes)
- 3 tablespoons yacón syrup (see notes)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1/2 cup dried goji berries
Instructions
Combine nuts, coconut flakes, seeds, spices and salt in medium bowl and toss thoroughly. Whisk together the oils, yacón syrup, vanilla and tahini in a separate bowl. Combine dry ingredients with the wet and mix until well coated. Spread onto cookie sheet and compress into a flat layer with the backside of a spatula. Bake for about 2 hours at 170 degrees. Remove from oven and scatter dried goji berries on top. When cool, break up into desired size chunks and store in glass jar.
