Hi Friends,
It's time to post new recipes again to keep our recipe archives growing! ;-)
For those of you avoiding all grains in your diet, here is a really delicious recipe for a granola alternative using no oatmeal. It is better tasting, in my family's opinion, than regular granola and obviously very protocol friendly.
Note: this recipe makes a very large batch. Adjust accordingly if you want to make it in smaller amounts.
5 cups unsweetened, finely shredded coconut
2 cups chopped almonds
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup coconut oil
1 cup organic pumpkin pulp
1 tablespoon organic vanilla
Stevia and cinnamon to taste
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Place coconut, nuts, seeds and salt in mixer bowl. Melt coconut oil over low heat and whisk in pumpkin pulp, vanilla and flavorings. Combine the coconut oil mixture with the dry ingredients and mix on low setting until completely blended. Place blended mixture in large baking sheets or cake pans and place in oven to toast. Stir frequently until mixture is dry and coconut is toasted to a light bronze color. Be aware that coconut toasts much quicker than oatmeal, so you will need to watch this more closely. Allow mixture to cool thoroughly before storing.
Hope this great breakfast food adds some variety to your morning!
Deborah B.
PS. You can purchase organic coconut in bulk at Whole Foods for around $3.99 a pound. Good news. . . it often goes on sale and when it does we buy it in large quantities for both this recipe and for making our own home-made coconut milk.
