Detox Granola Recipes

DETOX GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F/180C. In a food processor blend almonds and 2 cups oats until they are finely ground. Add to a mixing bowl with remaining 1 cup of oats, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, flaxseed, cinnamon, cloves, cardamon, and sea salt. Mix to combine.
• Add coconut oil and agave to saucepan on medium heat. Stir until melted and combined. Then pour over granola mixture, and stir until well combined.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour granola onto baking sheet, and spread evenly. Bake for 20 minutes, or until granola is golden. (I recommend to rotate pan halfway through baking to ensure it's baked evenly). Let granola cool completely. (Optional to break any large granola chunks with your fingers when cooled). Top granola on smoothies, yogurt, or serve with milk.

DETOX GRANOLA

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 170 degrees C/Gas mark 5.
• In a large bowl mix oats, sunflower seeds, almonds and hazlenuts.
• In a separate bowl combine the honey, oil, water, vanilla extract and cinnamon. I find putting this in the microwave for a minute heats it sufficiently to mix the ingredients.
• Add liquid to the dry ingredients and mix well.
• Spread out on a large baking tray and bake in the oven for 30/40 minutes. You will need to stir/turn it occasionally until evenly browned. I wait until it is done then turn off the oven and leave the door open. This way it seems to fully dry out and stays crisp for longer.
• When cool add the apricots, cut into thin slivers. Mix and store in an airtight tub.
• A nice alternative is to use pecan nuts instead of hazlenuts. Do crush/chop the nuts yourself though as, if you buy the uniformly shop bought chopped ones, the texture is all wrong.
