Vegan & Gluten-Free Matcha Superfood Granola

May 21, 2018
A good friend's birthday is coming up and I'd been mulling over what treat I would make her. While driving home the other day I had a (very minor) epiphany: Matcha Superfood Granola. This recipe is gluten free, vegan, and full of healthy ingredients: -Matcha: High in antioxidants and vitamins (such as vitamin C and zinc). -Oats: High in fiber, vitamins and minerals. -Black Sesame Seeds: High in vitamins and minerals (such as Iron and Magnesium) -Hazelnuts + Almonds: High in Vitamin E, protein, and folate. This granola can be served with milk for breakfast, on top plant-based yogurt, by itself as a snack, or even stored in a mason jar and given as a present!

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

2. In a large bowl combine the oats, coconut flakes, hazelnuts*, almonds*, brown sugar, and black sesame seeds.

3. Melt the coconut oil in the microwave or on the stove in a small pot.

4. Combine the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt in a small bowl.

5. Combine the wet and dry ingredients in the large bowl.

6. Line a baking tray with parchment paper** and spread the mixture evenly on it.

7. Bake at 300 degrees for 20 minutes. Turn the oven off, keep the tray in the oven for 20/30 minutes.

8. Put mixture back in the large bowl, add the matcha powder, and stir to combine.

Store in an airtight container. Good for a few weeks. Enjoy!

*I used hazelnuts and almonds. Any nut(s) or seeds should work well.
**The parchment paper can be composted after you are done!
