Recipe: Tahini, Pear & Coconut Granola

Oct 17, 2016 | Uncategorized

This delicious tahini, pear & coconut granola recipe comes courtesy of our friends from Wellineux (stay tuned for our exciting collaboration next year!). When we saw it, we knew instantly it had to make it’s way to our breakfast table! Granola is a deliciously healthy way to start your day. The only problem is most supermarket brands are loaded with added nasties, sugar, preservatives and all sorts of things! Luckily it’s quick and easy to make your own! Let’t the Wellineux team show you how!

Creating perfect granola “chunks” has been a long time mission. A granola that includes ingredients that will bind together in perfect clusters, even after baking. Cue the discovery of two magic ingredients : tahini + psyllium husk. A combination that sticks all the nourishing bits and bobs in this recipe together like glue.

We hope you love this recipe as much as we do.

You will need:

  • 1 cup buckwheat groats
  • 1/2 cup gluten free oats
  • 1/2 cup quinoa flakes
  • 1 pear, cored and chopped
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup tahini (hulled or unhulled)
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/3 cup rice malt syrup
  • 2 tablespoons psyllium husk
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon, ground

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 100 degrees C (or prepare your dehydrator). Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Place all ingredients into a large mixing bowl and combine well. You may like to use your hands to ensure the tahini is even distributed throughout the mix.
  3. Transfer to the baking tray and spread evenly. Press the mixture down with the back of the spoon, to form a compacted slice.
  4. Place into the oven for 180 minutes, or until dehydrated. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Break the pieces that have stuck together into chunks with your hands and then transfer to an airtight container for storage.

Best consumed within 2 weeks of baking. Delicious served with home made rice milk, or dolloped with coconut yoghurt.
