Golden Milk Granola
Crunchy, naturally sweetened granola infused with the flavors of golden milk! Bring this aromatic, Ayurvedic-inspired recipe to the breakfast table — just 9 ingredients required!
Servings 10 (1/2-cup servings)
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats (gluten-free as needed)
- 1 cup chopped raw almonds (or slivered almonds)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar (or other dry sweetener of choice)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2 ½ Tbsp golden milk spice mix (see notes for individual spices)
- 1/4 cup aquafaba (measured before whipping // if not oil-free, option to sub an equal amount of melted coconut oil or avocado oil)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/3 cup golden raisins (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 F (163 C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- To a large mixing bowl, add the oats, chopped almonds, coconut, chia seeds, coconut sugar, salt, and golden milk spice mix (see notes for individual spices). Stir to combine.
- Add the aquafaba to a mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to whip into loose peaks. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. NOTE: If using oil in place of aquafaba, skip the whipping step.
- Add the maple syrup and vanilla (optional) to the aquafaba and beat for 30 seconds more (or if using oil, stir to combine). Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and fold to evenly coat.
- Spread the mixture evenly onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes. Stir at the halfway point and rotate the pan to ensure even baking.
- Let cool completely, then add the golden raisins (optional) and toss. Store the granola in an airtight container and enjoy as a quick snack or in a bowl with some dairy-free milk! Store at room temperature for up to 3-4 days, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
