Eat Clean Nuts and Seeds Granola

I was never really that fond of granola…not that I didn’t like it, I just never ate it. Until I started making my own eat clean version! Now I make a batch about once every two weeks. I’ve discovered the most amazing ways to eat it!

Option 1:

• Make a protein shake (I use unsweetened almond milk and BioX Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl whey protein)
• Put 1/4 cup of granola in a bowl
• Pour the protein shake over the granola (don’t drown it… you can drink the leftovers)
• MMMmmmm Enjoy the yummy goodness!

Option 2:

• Put 1/4 cup granola in a bowl
• Add 1/3 cup greek yogurt (PC brand is the best)
• Add 1 Tbsp natural peanut butter (or other nut butter) {optional, but if you skip this you’re missing out}
• Add 1/4 cup frozen berries {optional}
• Mix together
• Enjoy!!! Delicious!

Ingredients:

DRY

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1/3 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/3 cup sesame seeds
• 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
• 1/3 cup ground flaxseed
• 1/2 cup whole almonds and/or pecans, walnuts, etc
• 1 Tbsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp allspice

• 1/3 cup raisins (add after baking)

WET

• 1 Tbsp grape seed oil
• 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 Tbsp honey

Instructions:

1. Mix dry and wet ingredients separately.
2. Pour wet mixture over dry and combine.
3. Spread mixture on baking sheet (lightly season with oil/butter if not using silicone).
4. Bake at 300 for 15 minutes, remove and stir, bake another 15 minutes or until oats are golden.
