Raw Granola Recipe,
The Best Granola Ever!

The first time I tasted a raw granola recipe, I was amazed at how incredibly flavorful and crunchy it was. I've tried most commercial brands of "raw granola" which are, yes, very tasty, but also very pricey for the amount that you actually get in one small package. I mean, if you like granola, it won't last you more than a couple days.

That's when I decided to make my own homemade version and it has been a hit with my family and friends ever since. Nothing beats a batch of freshly made raw granola right from the dehydrator. Plus, its way more cost effective, giving you 10 times as much for your money.

I like the idea of using different combination's of nuts and seeds, instead of oats as the base. In this recipe I use more alkaline seeds and nuts like: sunflower, pumpkin, and almond.

This is best when you might want to eat a big bowl of cereal. It also makes it more suitable for those recovering from candida or other inner ecology imbalances because it is less acidic to the body and a raw vegan recipe. This recipe is also sweetened to a minimal, so you can add your own sugar substitutes or bananas if you want to later. I use apple, raisin or fig and a pinch of stevia. The perfect balance of sweet! You can, of course, alter the ingredients, using other nuts you love and experiment with adding other fruits for different taste sensations.

The technique that makes this granola SO crunchy good is soaking your nuts and seeds overnight before you dehydrate them. This makes a light crunch rather than a hard, chewy tooth breaking one. I love to pour cold nut milk over mine or use my almond milk recipe!!

Raw Granola Recipe:

Directions:

1. Soak nuts and seeds overnight.
2. Soak raisins overnight in just enough water to cover them.
3. Next morning or day process nuts/seeds in food processor.
4. Grind up to the desired texture you want for your granola.
5. In a blender, puree the raisins, cinn, apple, and stevia.
6. In a big bowl add the nuts and seeds to the puree mixture.
7. Lay out on a dehydrator teflex sheet.
8. Dehydrate for 24 hours or until crunchy.
9. At about 12 hours flip over onto dehydrator screen and break up into smaller pieces.

I usually end up quadrupling this raw granola recipe to fill a gallon glass jar. That way there is enough for family and friends to enjoy in the next few weeks.

It is a great thing to make in preparation for travel when you want a quick easy snack or breakfast that is instant. Pour it into a bowl with a little nut milk and your good to go.

It also makes a healthy alternative cereal for KIDS, they love to make it and eat it!!
