Healthy Matcha Granola

Healthy Matcha Granola

This is a nourishing and delicious breakfast recipe that includes healthy fats, whole-grains and of course our favourite superfood, Ceremonial Grade Matcha, for a high boost of antioxidants and beneficial compounds.

This recipe can be tweaked to your liking. See substitutions below if you would like to go completely gluten-free/grain free or substitute seeds for nuts.

This recipe makes one tray.

 

Ingredients:

  • 300 grams Rolled Oats (about 3 and 1/4 cups)
  • 3 TBSP Matcha Powder
  • 70 grams sunflower seeds
  • 70 grams pumpkin seeds
  • 30 grams sesame seeds
  • 70 grams dried cranberries
  • 65 grams Coconut Oil
  • 120 grams agave syrup

 

How to:

  1. Preheat oven to 170 degree Celsius (fan bake setting)
  2. Add everything except the coconut oil in a bowl.
  3. Melt Coconut oil on the stovetop and pour into bowl.
  4. Mix everything until well combined.
  5. Line a tray with baking paper.
  6. Place mixture onto tray and press down slightly. This helps to get crunchy clusters at the end.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Look for the edges to just get lightly brown, not too dark.
  8. Let it cool down. The granola will crisp up as it cools down in a dry place.
  9. If needed, crumble it gently and store in air-tight containers. 
  10. Serve with coconut yogurt, milk or however you enjoy!

 

Substitutions:

If going gluten free/grain free, use quinoa flakes & puffed rice to the same volume as oats. This is 3.25 cups equivalent. You can find quinoa flakes and puffed rice at most health food stores & supermarkets.

 

Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place. Can keep for up to 4 weeks if there is minimal moisture.
