Ingredients

Dry:
  • 1 cup Puffed quinoa or use puffed millet or puffed rice if you cant find quinoa
  • 1 cup puffed millet⁣
  • 1/2 cup old fashioned oats Use gluten-free certified oats to ensure they are gf. Or use more puffed grains
  • 1 cup raw peanuts raw or roasted (or Use a cup of mixed seeds to make nut-free)
  • 1/4 cup cranberries or raisins
  • 2 Tablespoons candied ginger small pieces
  • 1/4 cup dried shredded coconut unsweetened, small flakes
  • 2 Tablespoons sesame seeds
  • a generous dash of black pepper
Wet:
  • 1 tsp oil extra virgin olive or coconut
  • 2 Tablespoons Sriracha I used 3 Tbsps :) or use Asian chili paste like Sambal Oelek
  • 2 tsps soy sauce use coconut aminos for soy-free
  • 2 Tablespoons maple or agave syrup
  • 2 Tablespoons ground raw sugar or maple sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp loaded almond butter or peanut butter
  • 2 tsps toasted sesame oil
  • Zest of half an orange 
  • .

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a pan, add oil, sriracha, soy sauce, maple syrup, sugar and salt and bring to a boil on medium heat. Boil for 2-3 minutes at low-medium heat. Take off heat and mix in the almond butter, sesame oil and zest. Mix to a smooth consistency.
  2. In another bowl, add all the dry ingredients and mix to distribute evenly. Mix the wet into the dry and combine well.
  3. Spread on a large baking sheet(or 2 medium). Bake at 325 degrees F / 160ºc for 20-25 minutes. Move the granola around with a spatula, 2-3 times in between, so the edges do not burn and it bakes evenly. Press them into clumps after removing from the oven. Let cool completely before storing

Notes

  • If making this without Sriracha (which will taste amazing too like a sweet and sour Orange granola), add a Tbsp more nut butter and a tsp of vinegar, to have enough wet for the dry ingredients. I use Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce by Huy fong, other brands might have fish or animal ingredients in the sauce.
