Today I’m sharing two of my family’s favorite sprouted granola recipes. Once you try homemade granola, you won’t want to go back to store-bought granola.

Pair granola with goat kefir (we love Redwood Hill Farm), goat whey protein powder, organic berries, and cinnamon for a delicious and protein-packed breakfast. Check out this post on how to start your morning with 30 grams of protein how for other protein-packed breakfast ideas.

Sprouted Granola Recipe

Ingredients

7 cups sprouted oats

1 tablespoon buckwheat flour

1 cup rye flakes

½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted

½ cup coconut oil, melted

1 can fill fat coconut milk

2 cups filtered water

4 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup maple syrup

1 teaspoon Redmond Real salt or Himalayan salt

2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon

2 Tablespoon vanilla extract

1 cup chopped almonds

Directions

Mix the first 7 ingredients in large bowl.

1. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or a cloth and let sit for 12 to 24 hours.
2. After the soaking, preheat oven to 200° F.
3. Place maple syrup, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla in a glass measuring cup in a small pot of warm water on the stove. Bring water to a gentle simmer, stirring mixture until melted and mixed thoroughly.
4. Combine the maple syrup and oat mixture. Spread the mixture out over two large parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake for 4-8 hours, or until granola is dry and mostly crisp.
5. After a couple of hours in the oven you may want to slightly break up the granola and stir it around to allow for faster cooking/drying time.
6. When granola is mostly crisp, turn off oven and leave baking sheets inside with door closed until completely cooled.
7. Add in almond slices at end
8. Store in air tight container (we put in a couple large plastic ziplocks in freezer)
