Starting Your Morning Off Right
Live Granola (3)
This is more labor intensive than my first granola recipe in this chapter. But everything except the rolled oats is
live, with the full enzyme potential of all the nuts, seeds, and grains unleashed! And you cannot buy a more
delicious granola. I am warning you that this breakfast is addictive: my whole family snacks on this when I
make it, even after breakfast.
Put in very large bowl, cover with filtered water, and soak for 22 hours:
1½ C sunflower seeds
1½ C oat groats
1½ C pumpkin seeds
1½ C raw almonds
1½ C raw walnuts
6 C rolled oats
Drain and rinse, then cover with several inches of water again and add the following to the bowl and then soak
the entire mixture for 2 more hours:
1 C flax seeds
1 C sesame seeds
Rinse, drain, and grind the mixture to a coarse texture with a nut chopper or food processor.
Next, purée in your high-powered blender:
1 C coconut oil (liquid, container warmed in a sink of hot tap water)
1 C raw honey (raw)
2 Tbsp. vanilla extract
Stir this into the seed, nut, and oat mixture. Spread on dehydrator trays and dry for 24 hours, then stir in any
dried fruit you like (raisins, etc.). Store in the fridge if this batch will last you longer than a week.
