Aqua-fabulous granola
Crunchy, clumpy granola reminiscent of Quaker Harvest Crunch but with less oil
Ingredients
- 3 cups (300g) rolled oats
- 1 cup (100g) sliced almonds
- 1 cup (75g) large flaked coconut
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup (60mls) coconut oil
- 1/4 cup (60 mls) honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 Tbsp vanilla paste or vanilla
- 1/4 cup (60 mls) aquafaba (~ half of the liquid from one can)
- 1/8 tsp cream of tartar
- Dried fruit (to taste)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together oats, almonds, salt and cinnamon (do NOT add coconut flakes).
- In another bowl mix together oil, honey, and vanilla.
- Stir liquid ingredients into the oat mixture and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 300F / 150C degrees
- In a stand mixer, beat aquafaba and cream of tarter until peaks form. This can take 3-5 minutes depending on the mixer.
- Stir aquafaba into the oat mixture and then spread out onto a paper or silpat lined baking tray.
- Bake for 5-10 minutes until just starting to brown. Remove from oven and stir in coconut flakes. Cook for 10-15 minutes longer or until golden brown. Check regularly as this can burn easily and stir every few minutes for even cooking.
