GOOD-FOR-YOU GRANOLA



Good-For-You Granola image

This is a vegan granola recipe with added protein from hemp powder and flax seeds. It's a basic recipe with lots of room for alterations and additions- you can add different chopped nuts, dried fruits, and other seasonings like ground clove or ginger. I usually add more hemp powder, as I hardly notice the flavor.

Place dish on a cooling rack for 10 minutes then carefully slide a knife to loosen the ends and lift out. Place granola slab on a cooling rack for 10 minutes and then into the freezer for another 10 minutes. Slice into bars once they are cool.
