Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup grated beetroot
- 1/4 cup grated ginger
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup nuts (almonds, walnuts)
- 1/4 cup seeds (pumpkin, sunflower)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your granola cooks evenly and becomes crispy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, grated beetroot, grated ginger, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Stir well to ensure that the oats are evenly coated with the syrup and spices.
- Add the nuts and seeds to the mixture. You can choose a combination of almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds based on your preference. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to create an even layer.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-30 minutes. Stir the granola every 10 minutes to ensure that it cooks evenly and doesn't burn. Keep an eye on it, as baking times may vary based on your oven.
- Once the granola is golden brown and fragrant, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. This will help it to become crunchy as it cools.
- Once cooled, transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. It can be enjoyed as a snack, with plant-based yogurt, or as a topping for smoothie bowls.
- Serve and enjoy your delicious Vegan Gluten-Free Sugar-Free Added Superfood Granola!
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients to maximize flavor and nutrition.
- Stir the granola frequently during baking to ensure even browning and prevent burning.
- Allow the granola to cool completely before storing to maintain its crispy texture.
- Experiment with different nut and seed combinations to personalize your granola.
- Store in an airtight container to keep it fresh and crunchy for up to two weeks.
- For extra crispiness, spread the mixture in a thin, even layer on the baking sheet.
- If you prefer a softer granola, reduce baking time by 5-10 minutes.
