BySandra Ishkanes

Servings: 5 50g pecans or hazelnuts or almonds20g unsweetened shredded coconut35g sunflower seeds1 tbsp pumpkin seeds1 tbsp sesame seeds35g flaxseed¼ tbsp turmeric¼ tbsp ground cinnamon½ tsp vanilla extract15g almond flour60 ml water1 tbsp coconut oil For serving: 120ml full fat Greek yogurt or coconut cream Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Chop the nuts coarsely in a food processor or with a sharp knife. Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Spread out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Be sure to set a timer. Nuts and seeds are heat sensitive and should not get burned. Remove from the oven and stir the mixture, then return to the oven for about 20 minutes more. Check again. When the granola feels almost dry, turn off the heat and let the granola cool in the residual heat of the cooling oven. Serve the granola with full-fat Greek yogurt with a tiny bit of vanilla powder and maybe some additional heavy cream. The granola is very nutritious and filling. A third to half a cup will go a long way. Tip! If you want to omit the nuts, add more seeds and/or coconut chips. You will want to make sure that the ratio between the dry and wet ingredients is about the same.
