A few years ago discovered quinoa crispy cereal. Woah I know…exciting right?! It’s like rice crispy, only made from quiona. 1 ingredient: organic quinoa! I love using it in homemade power bars and granola. Mix in chia seeds and hemp hearts for extra nutrients, vitamins, minerals and protein.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups old fashion rolled oats
1/2 cup quinoa crisps
1 cup pecan pieces
1/4 cup nut oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 t fresh ground salt (you can use less. I just like the salty/sweet combo!)
Hemp heart and chia seeds to taste…
preheat 300
Line a sheet tray with parchment paper
combine, oats, pecans and salt
whisk oil and maple
pour over dry ingredients and mix well
spread oats evenly on baking tray
Bake 1 – 1.5 hours, stirring every 15 minutes
Mix in the seeds during the last 10 minutes.
Granola should be light brown and getting crispy
it will get crispier and hard as it cools…
I can’t have granola in my house…it’s like crack to me 🙂 so I make it and give it to friends in cute little jars. Makes a good little gift with local yogurt and maple.
