you know when you've finally made up your mind to do that thing you've been putting off and thus absolutely nothing will stop you from getting it done today? well, that's what happened this morning. i've had all the ingredients to make some sort of granola and this morning was the morning. so nevermind that i had to crush my own cardamom seeds or mix oils--i was making this stuff or else! i'm glad i did because it really turned out delicious!
as a side note, i've given up trying to trick myself into thinking granola is healthy. it has some healthy ingredients, but it will never be yummy and low fat. just deal with it, right? okay.
i started with this recipe as a base and worked my own thing from there.
ingredients
5 C oats
1 1/2 C puffed rice cereal
1 1/2 C crisp rice cereal
1/3 C flax seeds
1/3 C sunflower seeds
1/3 C pepitas
3/4 t freshly ground cardamom
3/4 t cinnamon
dash salt
2 C coarsely chopped pecans
1/2 C coconut oil
1/2 C oil
1 C maple syrup
2 t vanilla
2 generous handfuls dried blueberries
directions
toss together all dry ingredients in a large bowl. melt coconut oil over medium heat, take off heat and whisk in remaining ingredients. pour over oat mixture and mix til evenly coated. spread evenly onto two cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. bake @ 350 for 30 min, mixing once after 15 min. let cool and add blueberries. try not to overeat every morning like me!!
