1cuphemp hearts
½cupBrazil nuts
½cupgoji berries
½cuppumpkin seeds
½cupsunflower seeds
½cupcacao nibs
½cupwhole foods protein powder(optional). You do not need to use protein powder in this recipe. It does make it more delicious and helps it to stick together in clumps, but it's not needed. If you do not use protein powder then you will not need any water and you will not even have to dehydrate. Just use it as it is.
Drizzle sweetener syrupAgave, maple or brown rice syrup work well.
SpicesYou may wish to add cinnamon, ginger or pumpkin spice to this granola. OR carb or cacao powder for chocolate flavour.
½cupwater
Instructions
Add all ingredients except water and syrup to a food processor and bind together until well ground. Be sure to leave quite a lot of texture. Do not over process!
Slowly add your syrup and water whilst keeping your machine pulsing. You need it to stick together and start forming a dough type texture. Again, be very careful not to over do this part and keep your eye on it. It should not take long at all to break down. You do not want a mush.
Now spread flat onto 2 dehydrator trays. If using your over you will need some large, flat oven trays.
Dehydrate for about 8 hours on 42C (108F). If using oven, put on very lowest setting possible and dehydrate for however long it takes to become crunchy. Shouldn't take more than a couple of hours.
Once your granola is crunchy, leave to cool before breaking up with fingers. Store in an air-tight container for up to 4 weeks.
