Toasted Apple Cinnamon Cereal

 

  • 1/2 apple, diced
  • 1 cup oats (or cooked or sprouted quinoa to make cereal gluten free)
  • 1/2 cup diced almonds
  • 1/2 cup (2 servings) of Vega Whole Food Smoothie Infusion
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup hemp oil
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 2 tbsp apple juice
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

 

Procedure

Preheat oven to 250F. Mix all dry ingredients together. Blend liquid ingredients until reaching a consistent texture. Combine liquid and dry. Mix well. Spread on bake tray. Bake for 1 hour. Let cool; break up.

You'll notice that this cereal is toasted at a lower temperature than traditional granola. The reason for this is to preserve the essential fatty acids. Heating foods with essential fatty acids above 350F is not recommended, since the heat can convert EFAs to trans fats.

Keep refrigerated to greatly extend freshness.
