Golden Blueberry Vanilla Granola 

May 15, 2017 by Maja ∣ Delicious & Healthy by Maya

Golden-Blueberry-Vanilla-Granola4

Crunchy, fragrant, delicious, a perfect breakfast simply served with milk or yoghurt, or chia pudding. Or eaten as a snack or dessert.

Golden-Blueberry-Vanilla-Granola3

Granola is an absolute staple in our house and whenever we get close to running out, someone issues a warning! We always have at least two kinds available: a chocolate and non chocolate one. We love having granola with chia pudding, alone with yoghurt or milk (my favorites are homemade walnut or hazelnut), or by itself as a desert.

Maybe you’ll find blueberries a surprising ingredient in this one but believe me, they are so good, adding beautiful sweetness to granola. And you probably already know how much I love blueberry/vanilla/lemon flavour combination.

Golden-Blueberry-Vanilla-Granola2

I’ll repeat my basic rules to making granola and then we’ll go to the recipe.

There are endless variations to granola and which ever I made I found them all delicious. It’s such an easy task and I love that you can let go your creativity do it’s thing: play with different ingredients, find combinations you like best. Once you make it a few times, you’ll get a hang of which ingredients go well together and which are your favs…

My basic rules for granola

1. You need a base grain (I usually take rolled oats or buckwheat)
2. Then something sweet (coconut sugar, agave syrup, maple syrup, rice malt syrup, blended dates…)
3. And oil (I use coconut or extra virgin olive oil)
4. Add some salt and lemon juice to enhance the flavours
Now you can add:
– Nuts (almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, walnuts, pecans, brazil nuts…)
– Seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, sesame, chia…)
– Spices (cinnamon, ginger, vanilla…)
– Dried fruits (goji, currants, cranberries, raisins, coconut…)
It is actually much simpler than you think, and fast as well. It takes me less then an hour to prepare and bake two kinds at the same time. Preparation of each will take you around 10 minutes and the baking takes 15-30 minutes, depending on the baking temperature. So if you thought that it’s a lot of trouble, it’s not.

[recipe-foody]
Preparation time: 10 minutes + 30 minutes for baking

Dry ingredients

3 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup almonds chopped
1/2 cup dates chopped
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
2 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp cocoa nibs
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla powder
pinch of Himalayan salt
2 tbsp coconut sugar

Wet ingredients

1/3 cup melted coconut oil
1/3 cup agave syrup
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup water

1 cup frozen blueberries

Golden-Blueberry-Vanilla-Granola1

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 125 celsius.
2. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl
3. Then add wet ingredients mixed together separately
4. Mix it together until everything’s evenly coated. Then add blueberries and mix them in gently
5. Check for sweetness and add more syrup if needed
6. Spread on baking tray lined with parchment paper
7. Bake for about 30 minutes
8. Be careful not to burn it. Check and mix after about 15-20 minutes into baking
9. When it’s kind of dry and golden, it’s done. It will become crunchier as it cools down.
10. Take it out of the oven and let it cool down completely before storing in an airtight container. You can store it up to a month. It won’t spoil, just become softer and less fragrant.

    Wow Maya, really useful. More than a guide, rather a bible on homemade granola. I’m going print it out. Thank you so much for all this useful info. And the whipped cream on the cup and frost is perfect! Dee xx.

Who wants ice cream 🍨?! Is it as hot where you Who wants ice cream 🍨?! Is it as hot where you are?? We’re melting here💦 but got to say, some delicious ice cream was quite helpful😆...
Blackberry Ice Cream - super simple 3 ingredient recipe below👇🏻
Sladoled od kupina🍦 
Puno vas je radilo prošli recept za sladoled, a evo danas novi okus! Sladoled od kupina od tri sastojka: smrznutih zrelih banana, smrznutih kupina i kokosovog mlijeka. 
Super jednostavno, jedete prefini kremasti sladoled a ono zapravo voće! A klinci ga obožavaju. Isprobano i odobreno! Može li bolje😉
Evo recept pa navalite:
Za dvije porcije sladoleda
Sastojci:
2 prezrele smrznute banane - važno je da budu jako zrele!
1 šalica smrznutih kupina
1/4 šalice (3 velike žlice) kokosovog ili nekog drugog biljnog mlijeka
Postupak:
(Zamrznite oguljene banane unaprijed)
Stavite sve sastojke u sjeckalicu i izblendajte. Ako imate slabiju sjeckalicu ili blender, stavite još pola svježe banane u blendanje da olakšate proces. Možda ćete trebati zaustaviti sjeckalicu i pogurati sastojke sa rubova pa nastaviti blendati. U svakom slučaju imat ćete prefini kremasti slatkač za par minuta.
Slobodno se igrajte s okusima i uz smrznute banane upotrijebite bilo koje mekano voće, a sad ga ima na pretek. 
Javite kako je ispalo😉

Ice cream made with just 3 ingredients, and amazingly creamy and delicious.. Here’s the super simple recipe. All you need is bananas, raspberries and plant milk
Ingredients:
2 frozen bananas
1 cup frozen blackberries 
1/4 cup plant milk 
Method
1. Place all the ingredients in food processor or blender and blend until smooth. If your blender isn’t very powerful, you can add 1/2 fresh banana to ease the blending. You may have to stop a few times to scrape the sides. But it shouldn’t take more than a few minutes to get a beautifully creamy and delicious treat😉

Sretna... ponosna na sve vas koji ste sudjelovali u ovom projektu i silno zahvalna svima vama koji ste me podržali i nosili svo ovo vrijeme🙏🏻 Svaki vaš lajk i komentar me veseli♥️

Sad znate zašto me nije bilo puno tu😁 Moja prva kuharica, u izdanju @planetopijahr otišla je u tisak🎉 Nakon mjeseci pisanja, kuhanja i fotkanja, i onda isto tako pisanja dodatnih tekstova i beskonačnih (vjerujte mi, beskonačnih😅) korekcija, i taj dan je stigao🙈
Ovo je naslovnica (sve fotografije mene - iliti autorice, dobro zvuči😆 - za kuharicu napravila je genijalna @maja_danica ♥️) Kuharica ima preko 70 recepata: od doručaka, jednostavnih ručkova, zatim bogatijih jela (kako ih ja zovem, za goste😅) do slasnih zdravih deserata. Pogledajte par fotki... A trebala bi se naći na policama knjižara krajem mjeseca. Velika hvala svima koji su me savjetovali i usmjeravali (i trpili moje ludosti😂🙈) u pisanju ove knjige. Znate tko ste..
Silno sam zahvalna svima koji me godinama prate i podržavaju moj kreativni rad, jer bez njih ova knjiga ne bi ugledala svjetlo dana. Veselim se svakom lajku i komentaru, svakoj vašoj poruci i poslanoj fotki rekreacija mojih recepata. Hvala vam ljudi🙏🏻♥️ .

I will not be posting food this week as I stand in solidarity with #GeorgeFloyd #BreonnaTaylor and #AhmaudArbery joining my fellow creators in the movement to silence the white noise to give space to voices that need to be heard #amplifiedmelanatedvoices movement - please check out to learn more @blackandembodied and @jessicawilson.msrd 
As a white woman living in a country where racism isn’t common I have never experienced or witnessed this kind of injustice and oppression by their own state and society, so many endure simply for the color of their skin. So I will not pretend to understand or know how it feels. But I want to learn and support🖤

Ovaj tjedan neću objavljivati ništa vezano uz hranu🙏🏻 Pridružujem se pokretu svojih kolega bijelih kreatora na Instagramu da damo više mjesta kako bi se važnije poruke mogle čuti.
Nama se ovdje to ne dogadja, ali ne mogu zatvarati oči pred činjenicom da se to ipak dogadja. Znam, nama je to neshvatljivo, da se moraš svakodnevno bojati za svoj život i život svojih bližnjih od strane onih koji bi te trebali zaštititi, da si gradjanin drugog reda samo radi “krive” boje kože... Da policija može upasti u tvoj stan i nedužnog te ubiti.. Neshvatljivo! U 2020. Educirajte se, pročitajte postove pod hashtagom Black Lives Matter 
Ja smatram da čovjeka čine njegov um, stavovi, želja za učenjem, rastom i napretkom, njegovo ponašanje prema drugima, njegov duh i osjećaji, a NE rasa, vjera, porijeklo ili godine...
Tako ću uvijek gledati i cijeniti druge♥️ #stopracismnow

Strawberry Breakfast it is♥️ Chia pudding with Strawberry Breakfast it is♥️ Chia pudding with coconut yoghurt and gorgeous local strawberries... I’ve missed my chia puddings lately so had to make it up today.. Been having mostly smoothies, chickpea omlets and raw oatmeals in last month as my usual breakfast. What has been yours go to lately?
Here’s a quick recipe for a basic chia pudding😉

Chia Parfaits for two

Ingredients:
4 tbsp chia seeds
1 cup oat milk (or almond, or cashew)
2 cups coconut yoghurt
2 tsp coconut sugar - optional

1 cup strawberries

Method:
- Mix together chia and milk and keep stirring until it starts to gel. Let it stand for at least 1/2 hour but you can prepare it in advance and let stand overnight. - Then add 1 tsp coconut sugar if using, 1 cup yoghurt and mix all together. Slice the strawberries. Place chia pudding in two jars, top yoghurt and strawberries. And enjoy✨
Sending love, Maja xx

Opet jagode... ovaj put sa chia pudingom. Nekako ga nisam puno jela u zadnje vrijeme i moram priznati da mi je falio. Ovo je kombinacija puddinga napravljenog sa zobenim mlijekom, i zatim posluženog sa jogurtom od kokosa i jagodicama😍 
A evo što vam treba za dvoje:
4 žlice chia sjemenki
1 šalica mlijeka (zobeno)
1-2 žličice kokosovog šećera - nije obvezno
2 šalice jogurta (ja sam koristila kokosov)
1 šalica jagoda
Pomiješajte mlijeko i chia sjemenke i miješajte minutu dok se ne počne zgušnjavati. Ostavite da odstoji bar pola sata. Umiješajte kokosov šećer i 1 šalicu jogurta. Stavite u dvije teglice i na vrh podijelite drugi jogurt i narezane jagode
Eto... uživajte😉
Puse, Maja .
