GROATnola (shameless stolen recipe)

Have I no shame? Guess not! This is a version of “granola” taken from Dr Greger’s NutritionFacts.org website. This is a picture taken just before I put them into the oven at 250° for 2 ½ hours.

Ingredients:

1 cup buckwheat groats, rinsed

pulp from one large sweet potato

1-2 tsp Cinnamon

2-3 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice

12 cups rolled oats.

Instructions (directly stolen form Dr Greger’s website):

1) Preheat oven to 250°

2) Boil 1 ½ cups water and add 1 cup of uncooked buckwheat groats, lower heat, simmer 10 minutes

3) After nuking the sweet potato, add to cooked groats in a large bowl and mash until well combined, ADD Spices now, both the Cinnamon and the Pumpkin Spice

4) Add 8-12 cups of rolled oats, less gives you clumpier granola,

5) Line baking sheets with parchment paper, spread granola on the sheets (you’ll need a couple of large cookie sheets for this quantity. BAKE 2 ½ hours

Let cool.

Can be used as breakfast cereal or snacking during the day.

Not difficult but it does take a bit of time.
