CRUNCHY OIL FREE GRANOLA - Vegan SOS Free!

Get this recipe and others in our BRAND-NEW KZbin Cookbook! www.wellyourworld.com/cookbooks
Until now, I had never figured out how to make a tasty oil free granola that actually has a nice crunchy texture. I had just given up. This recipe is a lot like my oat clusters, no added salt, oil, or sugar. I sweetened this homemade granola with whole dates, bananas, and raisins, and I loved the final level of sweetness, not so rich like the overpriced store-bought granolas. This granola is delicious with homemade yogurt and fresh fruit!
Recipe Ratio:
1 banana, super ripe
4 deglet dates, pitted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1+ cup of rolled oats
1/4 cup nuts and seeds (I used sliced almonds and green pepitas)
1/4 cup raisins or any dried fruit you like

@@WellYourWorld Instant Pot works wonders with whole soybeans; i.e., one with a Yoghurt setting. Strain through a nutmilk bag to a creamy consistency. 12-14 hrs overnight with a package of starter. I've yet to experiment with this once completed [1/4-1/2C] as a starter. Use the leftover water in pancakes or whatever. 'Cause it's fermented, it lasts longer than the 4-5 days with whole soymilk.

[@EllenAllard]

John Otvos I’ve been having problems with my soy yogurt so eager to try your method. Do you use one cardboard container of soy milk per package of starter in instant pot?

[@monicanavarro1264]

Hi Dillon, thx for the granola recipe. I had been making an oil, maple syrup and vanilla based granola for years. When I switched to eating vegan and SOS free i had a really hard time adjusting the ratios to get a crunchy granola. Many batches i burned, turned to hard pebbles or remained too soft 😡😤. After many attempts i ended with a very similar recipe to this one you’ve shared. However... -suggestion- I bake it loosely instead of compacted in a 350 oven for 15 mins, brake them and toss with a spatula and finish baking for 15 more min. Once it has cooled then i add 3/4 c of dried fruit. That way the fruit doesn’t dry up any more and can stay soft and plump ☺️ Just a thought. I only have two baking sheets and i make this batch about once a week yielding aprox 10 -12 cups of granola for a hungry fam of 6 😬 Also, yes, i’d love a homemade from scratch yogurt recipe preferably made without soy. 👋 Monica from Colorado USA
