Description

A not-too-sweet sourdough discard granola for anyone who loves crunchy clusters and a gentler take on blood sugar.


Ingredients

  • 2½ cups (225g) rolled oats
  • ¾ cup (75g) chopped raw nuts, any variety you like
  • ¼ cup (30g) raw pumpkin seeds
  • 3 Tbsp (28g) hemp seeds
  • 3 Tbsp (15g) unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 Tbsp (7g) ground flaxseed
  • ⅓ cup (75g) sourdough discard, young and neutral
  • ⅓ cup + 1 Tbsp (113g) maple syrup
  • Scant ¼ cup (51g) avocado oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp sp almond extract *optional
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 225°F and line a sheet pan with parchment.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, nuts, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, and coconut.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the ground flax, sourdough discard, maple syrup, avocado oil, vanilla, almond extract, salt, and cinnamon until smooth and homogenous.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until every oat is coated.
  5. Spread the mixture into a thin, even layer on the prepared pan.
  6. Bake at 225°F for 2 hours, until golden. It will still be soft to the touch coming out of the oven.
  7. Let it rest on the counter for 20 minutes to crisp and cluster, then break it up and store in an airtight container for up to a month.
