Ok, so I am a nursing momma again! Since everything I eat is now reflected in the behavior of my little guy, I am once again becoming super conscientious of my diet! Breakfast is one of those meals I just have never been able to do without. So I was very excited when one of my friends dropped this amazing bag of granola on my doorstep! I could not get enough of it! And when I learned that the ingredients not only were excellent for me, but also supported lactation, I was even more excited! She gave me the basic gist of the recipe but encouraged me to play around with it since she assured me she never made it the same way twice, relying on the contents of her pantry that particular day and adding whatever she felt inclined towards that particular moment. So I did the same! The result was nothing short of spectacular and I am reveling in the fact that I was able to enhance its taste and healthful qualities with my essential oil pantry as well! The result? My Crazy Granola!
Are you ready to give it a try? Here is the gist but as my friend encouraged me, I also encourage you to explore your taste buds and use the ingredients and essential oils that speak to YOU! Other oils that might go well with this are Wild Orange, Cassia, and Ginger. In regards to the cinnamon and onguard in this recipe, I have given an approximation based on my personal taste so my advice is start with less and add more if you want a stronger flavor.
1 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup raw honey
1/2 cup maple syrup
2-3 tablespoons IQ Omega supplement
8-10 drops Cinnamon Essential oil
15-20 drops OnGuard Essential oil
Combine and pour over: 6 cups rolled oats, 1 cup wheat germ, 1 cup flax meal, 1/2 cup chia seed, 2 cups raw almonds, 1 cup sprouted pumpkin seeds, 1 cup oat bran.
Mix well, spread out on a cookie sheet and bake at 200 degrees for one hour. Let cool and put in a ziploc bag…enjoy! I like mine with a little milk but it is equally good all by itself as a great snack!
