PUFFED MILLET GRANOLA



Puffed Millet Granola image

I like a light granola for a snack on its own (no milk, yogurt, etc.) and this is my favourite! It's easy to take a few bites and feel that both my sweet tooth and salt craving are satisfied. It's high in protein and easy to prepare. Hope you like!

HEALTHY GRANOLA



Healthy Granola image

We decided to give granola a makeover, and not just by cutting calories and sweeteners. Yes, we trimmed the sugar-but we also added healthy fats, like olive oil, and increased the fiber by including with almonds, sesame seeds and puffed millet. One 1/2-cup serving delivers 4 grams of fiber and only 8 grams of sugar! Add some milk (for calcium and protein) and your favorite dried or fresh fruit and you've got a complete breakfast or snack.

Time 55m

Yield 7 cups (fourteen 1/2-cup servings)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups puffed millet
1 cup sliced skin-on almonds
1/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1/3 cup roasted unsalted pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Toss together the oats, millet, almonds, coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds in a large bowl.
  • Whisk together the olive oil, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla and 3/4 teaspoon salt together in a small bowl.
