Ingredients
- 1 ib oats
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 oz coconut flakes
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ginger
- ¼ tsp clove
- 3 whole allspice berries
- 2 whole cardamom pods
Instructions
- Place the oats, whole spices and coconut flakes on a baking sheet and place in a preheated 350 degrees F oven.
- After 5 minutes remove the whole spices and coconut flakes. Stir the oats with a spatula and return them to the oven for another 5 minutes.
- Place the whole cardamon pods and all spice berries into a spice grinder for about 15 seconds, the spices should be powdery.
- Remove oats from the oven, and put them into a food processor with the toasted coconut flakes, all 5 of the ground spices, salt, olive oil and warm coconut oil. DO NOT add the maple syrup at this stage, the mixture will seize (turn into a thick, stiff mass.)
- Blend it for about 10 - 15 minutes in the food processor. Pause for a minute or two to give the motor a break. It should start looking like nut butter.
- Transfer the almost completed Granola Butter from the food processor to a bowl. Add the maple syrup and stir. It will be thick. Add warm / hot water to thin the butter to your desired consistency level, about 3 tablespoons to make it a nut butter consistency. Add more to make it into a dip.
