1. Granola for 1
1 1/2 TBSP coconut oil
2 1/2 brown rice syrup or agave
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
In a separate bowl mix whatever granola grains you want. I
typically mix oats, chopped almonds, chopped pecans, oat
groats and pumpkin seeds. Sometimes buckwheat groats.
For a while I was adding sesame seeds, but they are very
overpowering, so I stopped.
Mix your dry with your wet, spread on a cookie sheet and heat
in 350 degree oven. Check it after 7-10 minutes. Stir it and
continue to cook until browning around edges. It has been my
impression that the brown rice syrup cooks faster than the
agave.
When finished, remove pan from oven and immediatrly
scrape it with a spatula to keep it from sticking as it dries.
It hardens when it dries so if you like it softer, place it in
a sealed container while still just a bit warm.
2. Homemade crackers
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup coconut flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt (or less)
1/2 water, add 1-2 tbsps if needed
Whisk dry ingredients, then add water. Work it until a dough
forms. It will be kind of wanting to crumble a little but moist
Enough to hold together. Roll flat on a lightly floured surface
Cut into pieces, however you feel they look best, just make sure
they are 1/2 inch or less in thickness. Poke holes in each
cracker with a fork. About two fork stabs per cracker. Bake
at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, then check them every 5
minutes until browned around the edges. Mine had some
softness in the crackers that were in the middle but they were
Still a hit.
3. Super Awesome Vegan Friendly, All Natural Salad Dressing
We tried this at Whole Foods and were instantly sold. The
kids shoveled the spinach leaves into their mouths. This
Lemon Chesapeake flavor was the one we bought. The other
flavors rocked too.
