Best Raw Granola Recipe
Step 1: Coarsely chop almonds. Soak nuts and seeds in cool water overnight.
Step 2: Drain and rinse nuts and seeds.
Step 3: Place 1 cup of nut mixture, plus dates, agave nectar, vanilla and salt in blender or small food processor. Process to coarse paste. Add rest of nut mixture and pulse until nut pieces are size of rolled oats, or desired texture. If food processor is too small to fit all the nuts and seeds, scrape date mixture into bowl and pulse nut mixture separately. Mix together in bowl. For a “chocolate” version, stir in cocoa powder. Keep chilled. Serve with berries, chopped apples, plus a splash of milk.
