Author Notes: This recipe was born during a Whole30 stint, but I like it enough that I’ll keep eating it long after I’m done with it. It’s vegan, gluten-free, and infinitely customizable based on what nuts you prefer and any other ingredients you like in your granola.
(To make this Whole30 approved, just make sure you’re using a Whole30 compliant almond milk and the raisins don’t have added sugar.) —Lindsay-Jean Hard
Serves: 1
Ingredients
-
1
tablespoon toasted (peeled) hazelnuts
-
2
tablespoons toasted walnuts
-
1
tablespoon toasted, sliced almonds
-
1
tablespoon toasted, unsweetened, shredded coconut
-
2 to 3
tablespoons raisins
-
1
teaspoon hemp seeds (optional)
-
Ground cinnamon
-
Salt
-
Unsweetened almond milk (or other nut milk)
Directions
- Pulse the hazelnuts and walnuts in a mini food processor a few times until they’re pretty finely chopped — or until you get a texture you like. (Or use a knife and finely chop them.)
- Combine all of the nuts, coconut, raisins, and hemp seeds (if using) in a bowl. Add a tiny dash of cinnamon and salt, stir to combine. Top with almond milk and dig in.
- I also like this warmed up, like oatmeal (Fauxtmeal? Maybe not.). Just add all of the ingredients to a pan and heat over medium heat until warmed through. (If you happen to have cashew cream on hand, add a tablespoon to make it creamier.)
