Cranberry Double Chocolate Quinoa Granola

Published by

Adapted from Vanillacrunnch (http://vanillacrunnch.com/glutenfree-double-chocolate-granola/) I’ve added 2 more types of ingredients and I’ve highlighted the additions in blue:) INGREDIENTS 2 cups buckwheat (200gr) ¾ cup flaked coconut (30gr) ¼ cup gluten free oats (25gr) ¼ cup quinoa puffs 2 tbsp dried cranberries ¼ cup maple syrup (35gr) 3 tbsp coconut oil (25 gr) 2 tbsp cacao powder (25g) 1 oz dark chocolate with quinoa, chopped (30gr) ½ tsp vanilla extract a pinch of fine sea salt Let’s start: Preheat oven to 165°C / 325°F Mix all the dry ingredients together first. Add the remaining wet ingredients till fully combined. Line the baking try with parchment paper and lay the granola mixture over. I exert a little pressure to lightly pressed the mixture together so that it kind of sticks together. Lara from Vanillacrunnch recommended 12-15 mins and I baked it for 15 mins:) Remove from oven and let it cool completely as per recommendation and you can really get big clusters which is so yummy:)

Published by

Wanted to bake some carrot muffin since weeks ago and finally, I decided to pull my socks up and get the carrots going. The process of grating the carrots is probably the reason for my weeks of procrastination. Been finding one good vegan recipe for the carrots muffin and decided to try the version from gkstories with turmeric in it. Sometimes, finding a good recipe depends on your luck. So many variations out there and you really have to try, in order to find the one that suits your tasting. Anyway, this is my vegan version from gkstories, try this!

These are oil free, butter free and are a healthier alternative to your classic buttery scones. Of course, if you prefer your scones to be flaky and buttery, you will need to add butter to the mix and it’s a whole different recipe. These are for those who wants a healthy “scone” with no butter added. You would probably be thinking why would people want to eat a scone if a scone doesnt taste like how a scone should be. Well, I’m one of those weirdos who prefer not to add any butter nor cream into my baked goods unless its necessary. I feel that Berry Chocolate Chip Scones adapted from deliciouslyella:) Serving : 6 scones ( I got 10 mini triangular scones) Prep time: 15mins ; Baking time: 30- 35mins 1 cup of spelt flour 1 cup almond meal 2 tbsp unsweetened apple sauce 3 tbsp maple syrup 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk 1/2 cup of chopped fruits ( 4 strawberries + handful of blueberries + 2 tbsp dried cranberries + 2 tbsp …
