Whole food granola

I don’t have a blendtec blender, so how can break down the cell walls of the flax seeds in this recipe? I’ve tried crushing them with a roller pin, with no success. Will it hurt to leave them whole?

Yikes! Why are you putting the granola in the oven?! By heating it above 118 degrees, you destroy many of the valuable nutrients. Same goes for heating the sweeteners on the stove.

I believe that rolled oats are processed too, using steam at high temperature.

Thank you for caring and sharing good ideas.

Are you mormon? Because I heard that you were… lol.

thats the way i see it anyway she may have a completely different answer for you.

thatstheguy07

yea i understand what your saying. but its either dont have granola, or do. and when you do, your gonna have to cook the oats. they taste like cardboard otherwise.
so, if your gonna have to cook them, best to get the uncooked stuff, so u dont end up having twice cooked oats.
its that or no fabulous granola recipe at all.

i mean sure, you could throw some raw oats into your smoothie or something, as i do daily, but its gross. this is a tasty sounding treat, that needs to be cooked

The point is that she decries the use of “high temperature” in the processing of instant oats, which supposedly reduces the vitamin and mineral content. So she uses rolled oats instead, which aren’t “processed”, and then proceeds to cook it anyway, thereby reducing the vitamin and mineral content.

thatstheguy07

the simple answer to this is that then it would be cooked twice…

rxda90

Why make a big deal about “rolled oats” vs. “instant oats”? Don’t you end up cooking and dehydrating the rolled oats at 250* in this recipe anyway?

Beekeepers raise bees so that they ‘produce more honey than they need. It’s the excess honey that they “steal”.

Awesome video. I just found your channel with the help of one of my viewers. I hope you have a video exposing Monsanto. I detest GMOs.

It will keep many weeks in the fridge in a gallon Ziploc freezer bag. If it’s summertime, only up to two weeks on the counter–longer if you bake it until it’s dry, and shorter if it’s still damp when you quit baking it.

Nice video Smoothiegirl,

I am a family of one. I still want to make the same amount because I am lazy. How long will this keep? Or how can I keep it longer?

nice kitchen!

I love making my own granola, I can make it with whatever sweetener I want and lower the calories by almost 50% to some brands. You’re my new hero greensmoothiegirl

ps. I was vegan 5 years ago and couldn’t afford it so I went lacto-ovo, but now that I have my own child and want to start feeding her right, I realize if you cut out the processed foods you can eat vegan cheaper than a meat eater!

What coop do you use? I live in Houston, TX, and can’t seem to find a good coop. I have been reluctant to mail-order, since the cost of shipping outweighs the money I save buying in bulk.

Hemp seeds are great too!

Depends on how warm your kitchen is. In the summer, not longer than 2 wks. You can put it in gallon Ziploc bags and keep it in the fridge, though, if you want to make more than a two-week supply.

How long will this mixture keep at room temperature? I’d love to make a huge pan, but I hope it won’t go bad before I can finish it.

i kee p hearing you say how flax is nutricious but i heard the most nutricious was cannabis hemp seeds

havemercybabe

if I had that for breakfast every day I would be smiling all the time! You definitely cannot buy nutrition like this in a packet.
