Tumeric Sunflower Seeds Granola
This tumeric sunflower granola is so much better then store-bought. Plus your entire home smells really good, so ‘all-day-long’ free aroma’s that will fill you with joy.
I prefer this granola plain just with some milk so it soaks up all the amazing flavours! Great for a (little) hunger snack.
Ingredients:
300-350 g old fashioned oats
5 whole-wheat rice crackers (broken into chunks using your hands)
60 g sunflower seeds
40 g pine nuts
50 grams of sesame seeds
40 grams of chia seeds
80 grams of roughly chopped hazelnuts
80 grams of roughly chopped pecan nuts
2 teaspoons of ground ginger
3 teaspoons of ground tumeric
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon of sea salt
6 tablespoons of maple syrup
3-4 tablespoons of sunflower butter (you can use any kind of nut-butter)
3 tablespoons of coconut oil
splash of oat-milk (-/+ 2 tablespoons)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 160°C and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, whole-wheat rice crackers, hazelnuts, pecan nuts, sesame seeds, pine nuts, sunflower seeds, chia seeds & all the spices. Mix well and set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine sunflower paste, maple syrup, oat-milk and coconut oil. Stir for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat & let it cool down for 5 minutes. Pour the mixture over the oats mixture and stir using a rubber spatula just until moist.
Spread half of the mixture in an even layer onto the prepared baking sheet (not too much on 1 sheet or it will not get so crunchy!). Repeat with second sheet.
Place the 2 sheets into oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown, stirring the mixture halfway through baking.
Let it cool down completely before serving or storing.
