At home, we are trying to not eat a lot of wheat flower. In fact nacho is wheat free, it’s just because we want to feel better and I have discovered that wheat makes me feel sometimes bloated, specially in the evening, (and doctor says I might be a bit alergic to the conservatives that are on the breads and other stuff) and because I am a massive addict to bread (and I plan to keep it that way, ha!), so I try to cut on wheat flower as much as I can so I can enjoy some bread every now and then.
Listen, I love food, its fuel to my soul, and I’m half Italian so I believe that pasta runs on my DNA!! That said, I have tried edamame pasta, which BTW is as good as regular pasta, with a sexy pesto that I learned to do, we all LOVE it.
And today’s special post is about mastering the Granola department. Nacho and I are “granola scouters” we test every single one. Actually last year in California I discovered a homemade local granola producer and became obbssessd with it, so I got in contact with the owners on their website, and placed an order of 20 packets to last for the whole summer. They didn’t made it past a week
so I had to try making it at home, in argentine.
this is what I came thru with after several times and basically proof/error.
I think this has been by far the best I batch I did so I have to share with you!
hope you make it and love it as much as Nacho did!!
250 rolled organic oats
120 missed seeds of your preference (I had sunflower, flax seed, amaranth, poppy seeds, chia seeds) organic preferred.
40 g brown sugar
2 table spoons of honey
2 table spoons of coconut oil (in a semi solid state)
20 g of butter
the zest of 1 whole meyer lemon
yields approx 590 g
The trick is getting to toast the oats first, in batches checking regularly and mixing them, like moving the oats slowly, so that they don’t get over toasted.
In the mean time you mix the oil, and brown sugar, and make a paste then mix in butter, and put it 10 to 20 seconds in the micorwave, so it melts a bit more.
Once the oats are toasted you mix in the previous mix, and add the seeds, add lemon zest mix well iuntil you have an even granola mix, then put it back in the oven for 5 more minutes, and you let them cool down on the kitchen countertop preferably with baking paper for an easy transferring to final storing.
Thats it! Fast
I hope you love it as Nacho does!
Will tryi this weekend ??
Yay

Porque en ingles?
por el momento el blog esta basado en EEUU. Como soy yo sola haciendolo no me da el tiepo para escibirlo en castellano. Ya llegara… saludos!
I love your recipes Delfina, thank you for posting them ! I’m wondering if there are substitutes for butter and sugar ? I avoid gluten as well as dairy and regular sugar, Coconut sugar is still a sugar no matter how it is marketed. I love granola, the best I’ve had is Purely Elizabeth’s pumpkin granola. It rarely lasted a few days and I got quite round from eating it haha. Now I don’t buy granola period , it’s just too rich for me.
Muchas gracias !
🙂
I would try agave, or stevia to sweeten it. As for butter I would add just cocnut oil.
Enjoy and let me know how it came out! Share your photo with #wearefiguerastoo

Grear recipe ! I will try this as it seems simple and healthy . I will then layer it with yogurt in Mason jars for breakfast . Healthy and filing
Love it! I will try it for sure as vegan honey is a no no, but will agave do? And what can I use instead of butter ? Also maybe the brown sugar can be sustituye by dates?
Just a suggestion because I will try to do it
love healthy food and easy recepies like this

Hola delfi!
Im going to try it! But i’ll use stevia instead of the sugar! My mom used to make granola for me when we used to go to the farm for vacation. I went *out of control* eating granola! Ha ha!
Btw, I forgot to tell you I tried your banana bread recipe, but I used coconut oil instead of butter. it was a totoal success! It was the first time I tried oatmeal flour, I loved it and my hubs too! Thank you!

(Fingers crossed, a ver si funciona)

Hola! Me encanta leerte, es muy entretenido. Siempre pienso como haces con la escuela de los chicos ya que viajan tanto.
Vivo en Argentina y muchas veces pienso en recorrer el mundo, pero la escolaridad me frena.
