Healthy Granola Recipe:
Ingredients:
150g medjool dates
50ml tahini
50ml olive oil
200g rolled oats
100g quinoa
50g walnut
50g almonds
20g brazil nuts

2 tsp vanilla essence
50g dried goji berries
50g dried cranberries
25g dried apricot
25g raw coconut
Dark chocolate 50g
Pinch of salt
- Preheat the oven to 160C.
- Blend the olive oil, tahini and dates. Add a splash of water if it’s too thick.
- Combine the oats, quinoa, nuts, seeds, cinnamon, coconut, a pinch of salt and vanilla essence in a large bowl.
- Pour over the date mixtures and mix with your hands until well combined.
- Spread onto a lined baking tray and press down into a single layer.
- Bake for 15 minutes then break up the granola.

I have never seen the Quinoa and Tahini version. I have to try. My first view of your channel and I subscribed. 🙏

[@EarthyGoodnessKitchen]

Welcome aboard! I love the puffed quinoa and the nutty flavour from the tahini 😋

I really enjoyed this video, it is the first one I found that used a binder other than honey or syrup. I will try this

[@EarthyGoodnessKitchen]

Great! Hope you enjoy it :)

Love all the comments about nutrition! So that’s just raw quinoa? You didn’t rinse or soak or cook it before baking right?

[@EarthyGoodnessKitchen]

Thanks! Yep just raw quinoa, it will puff up and cook in the oven. You could rinse it before if you like to remove any dust but I don’t bother :)

[@zachcain2639]

@@EarthyGoodnessKitchen I was wondering about rinsing due to the saponins on quinoa. People say they’re quite bitter and disrupt digestion and that’s why we should thoroughly rinse quinoa at least 3 times if not more. But recently I’ve seen lots of quinoa in the store that comes pre-rinsed. So it’s possible you were using that or maybe you don’t mind the bitter flavor of the saponins. For me I find unwashed quinoa hurts my stomach/intestines quite a bit so it’s something I think about

[@EarthyGoodnessKitchen]

@@zachcain2639 Ahh that's interesting. I haven't heard much about saponins before. I'll give my quinoa a wash next time because I do think I've experienced some stomach upset from quinoa before!

[@zachcain2639]

@@EarthyGoodnessKitchen no need if it’s pre-rinsed by the manufacturer, I’ve had no issues with that type 👍

I gag from dates…any substitute?

[@EarthyGoodnessKitchen]

You could use raisins or a different sugar source like honey or maple syrup
