WFPB Granola

Hi, this is Anne! This is Whole Food Plant Based granola. It is very adaptable. You can make it crunchy or chewy. You can also put whatever you want in it. Up above there are a few ideas: Sunflower seeds, dried mango, chocolate chips, dried banana, and coconut flakes. At the end of the recipe I will show you how to dry your own fruit.

Granola

Ingredients

6 cups oats

1 cup honey

2 tsp cinnamon 

2 tsp vanilla

salt

Instructions 

In a large mixing bowl, mix oats, honey, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. mix it up. then add in whatever you want!  If you like crunchy granola, preheat your oven to 350 ℉. Then, spread the granola out on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.  Allow to cool and add in the toppings. We like to make it plain the night before, then the next morning we have a granola bar and everyone adds in the toppings of their choice. We hope you enjoy it!

                 In the big bowl add in the oats, honey, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Mix it up!

How to Dry Your Own Fruit

Ingredients

Fruit or Berries of your choice

(Blueberries take at least 2 days to dry) 

You will need a Food Dryer

Instructions 

First, wash your fruit if you are drying a fruit/berry like apples, pears, or blueberries. Next, cut your fruit into thin pieces or it will take forever to dry. If you are drying a fruit like a mango, cut into smallish cubes. Now get out your Dryer, and lay out your fruit or Berrys on the mesh- like sheets. Next, set your Dryer to 350℉ (57℃) for 5-8 hours and check them when the dryer stops. You can peel one of if you aren't sure if they are done.

We hope you enjoy!

           How to make a flax egg
 _________________________

    To make a flax eggs, grind the  

flax and put it in a small bowl with 
  the water and mix. Add it to the 
electric mixer when it the recipe 
            says to add the eggs.

Instructions

__________________________

 Heat your oven to 350℉ 

With the whisk attachment on your electric mixer, mix together the brown and white sugar, with the peanut butter until combined.

Add the Flax eggs and vanilla extract and combine.

Switch out the whisk attachment, for the paddle attachment. Add the flour, salt, baking soda, and nutmeg, and blend. Then, add the water a little at a time, blending in-between. Add the chocolate chips and walnuts (if your using them) and combine.

Place the dough on the cookie sheets and press them down a bit. Place them in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes.

Now, you can eat them!!

P.S this makes a lot, so you can put the extra in the fridge and pop some in the oven later! 









To make the cookies you will need: White and brown sugar, peanut butter, eggs, vanilla extract, flour, baking soda, salt, water, chocolate chips, chopped walnuts (optional),and my secret ingredient: Nutmeg! This is what makes it taste so good. You will also need a mixer with the paddle and whisk attachments.

sorry, I forgot the dry ingredients in this photo☹️

First, preheat your oven to 350℉, and get out your electric mixer. Any kind will do, this is just the one I have. Mix the brown and white sugar with the peanut butter on low (no.1 on mine) until combined. You may want to scrape down the sides.

Now, add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix again. Now you will need to switch out the whisk attachment for the paddle attachment and add the half the flour then add the baking soda, salt and mix. It will look a little like graham cracker crumbs. To make the flax eggs, in a separate small bowl mix 2 Tbs ground flax with 6 Tbs water and add to the mixer. 

                                                                         

Now, add the water a little at a time, blending in-between for about ten seconds as it takes a while for it to blend together, or until it looks like this. Add in the chocolate chips, walnuts (if your using them), and nutmeg. I didn't use walnuts this time.

Take the bowl off the mixer, put the cookie dough on your tray and press it down a bit. The chocolate chips tend to end op on the bottom of the bowl, so you might want to get a spoon and put them on top of the dough.

Bake them for 10-15 minutes or until golden on the edge\bottom of the cookies. After 5 minutes place the cookies on a cooling rack until cool. If you want to eat them warm now is the best time.

The best part is, you have extra dough! You can put it in a Tupperware in the fridge and pop some in the oven when you need more cookies. The picture above is how many my first round made.

                                     

                                     And there you have your cookies!! I hope you enjoy them!

And now, the promised pictures of John:
