Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 300°F. Spray two baking sheets with avocado oil spray, line with parchment paper, and spray the top side of the paper again.
-
Step 2.
In a large bowl, combine 4 cups gluten-free oats, ⅔ cup sliced almonds, ⅔ cup shelled sunflower seeds, ⅔ cup shelled pumpkin seeds, ⅓ cup flax seeds, and 1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut. Mix well.
-
Step 3.
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice (or orange juice), 1 tablespoon grapefruit or orange zest, ½ cup homemade Papaya Molasses or Pomegranate Molasses, ½ cup melted coconut oil, 5 drops liquid stevia, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground allspice, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar. Bring just to a boil over medium heat, then remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
-
Step 4.
Carefully pour the hot liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and stir well until all dry ingredients are evenly coated.
-
Step 5.
Divide the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheets and spread into an even layer. Bake for about 45 minutes, removing the pans every 10 minutes to stir the granola, until it begins to brown and crisp.
-
Step 6.
Remove the granola from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheets, breaking up any large chunks as it cools. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days, or freeze for up to 30 days.
-
Step 7.
To make the chia pudding: In a blender, combine ¼ cup cacao powder (or organic cocoa powder), 4 tablespoons monk fruit maple syrup, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1½ cups carton coconut milk beverage (or almond or macadamia nut milk). Blend on high for about 1 minute until smooth and well combined.
-
Step 8.
Pour the blended liquid into a bowl and stir in ½ cup chia seeds until evenly distributed. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight until set.
-
Step 9.
Divide the chia pudding among individual serving containers. Top with homemade granola and other desired toppings before serving.
