015 - Raw Granola Treat

The best way to describe this raw delight is crunchy&yummy. I love granola and have made it many times with many variations since I introduced raw foods into my regular diet. There are so many wonderful foods that I have added to my favorites list since starting raw food and I am sure that there will be many more to come. This treat was pretty simple to make and doesn't really take long to dehydrate (depending on how much crunch you want). You can choose any nut, seed, berry, bran, etc. that you would desire to snack on and add it to the ingredient list. I like raisins and dates for sweetness. For the nutty flavor I could choose from any two of this list:  almonds, pistachios, walnuts, sunflower seeds, cashews, macadamia nuts, and countless others. I also like the flavor that oats and almond butter or any nutbutter adds to this treat. I am not a huge fan of  honey but this is on recipe that I could enjoy it in. Most  often I use maple syrup. I would love to try some butterscotch and vanilla flavoring as well. So get wild and crazy with your raw granola recipe. Have fun making it and have even more fun eating it.
