We loved salted granola at home during the Whole30 we did in November. We simply added it straight from the jar to salads , soups , roasted vegetables , or just ate it - that's what we like best :)
We also started adding quality dried fruit to the granola, thanks to which the granola gained another layer of flavor and interest. For example, dried mulberry, mango or apricots can bring a sweet-sour contrast. Just make sure the dried fruit has no added sugar and experiment with different combinations to suit your taste. I fell in love with dried fruit from the Sunny Fruit brand, which is grown in organic quality and then dried in the sun, thanks to which the fruit retains more of its natural flavor and nutrients. You will find a discount code at the end of the recipe, so try this brand as well.
And if you also add dried meat to the granola (for example, the Fine Gusto brand is free of added preservatives and sugar), you have a great tip for a trail mix to take with you on long trips .
Quantity: 2 large glasses
Preparation: 5 min
Baking: 25 min
Ingredients:
1 cup of almonds
1 cup of cashews
2 cups coconut chips
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
4 sprigs of fresh thyme
2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
3 teaspoons of salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3 egg whites
3 tablespoons of olive oil or ghee
1/2 cup dried fruit
Method:
Preheat the oven to 160 °C and line a tray with baking paper.
Mix all the nuts and seeds in a large bowl. Also add finely chopped thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper.
Crack the happy eggs into a cup and separate the whites from the yolks. (You can process the yolks, for example, into homemade mayonnaise , into homemade lactose-free pudding ). Mix the olive oil with the egg whites and pour the whole mixture to the nuts and seeds and mix thoroughly. Thanks to the egg whites, the resulting granola is beautifully crunchy.
Now pour the prepared mixture onto a baking sheet and spread it in a thin layer.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes. Halfway through the time, take out the prism and mix it, put it back and bake until golden.
Once the granola is baked, remove the tray from the oven and let it cool completely.
Then mix in dried fruit, possibly also dried meat and mix.
Transfer the granola to airtight jars and store in a dry place. This way it will last up to one month.
