Quinoa Granola!

I was thinking a few weeks back whilst I was making my roasted quinoa kale and garlic topping for salads, why not do a sweet version? Quinoa Granola. Genius. Then I googled it and realised I was way behind on my inventions and someone had beat me to it. Fine. I will not read or be influenced by any other recipes and make my own version. So tonight I cooked a cup of quinoa which made plenty for dinner and left half for the granola. So I let the remaining quinoa rest and cool in a bowl for an hour. Let me tell you, this turned out amazing. So good, and incredible as dessert, or if you fancy something sweet in the morning. In all honest I could eat it on its own as well. All the time. Everyday. 

Jo's Quinoa Granola

Ingredients

1 1/2 Cup cooked quinoa

1 Handful pecans

2 Tsp Agave ( you can add more or less depending on how sweet you like it)

1/2 Desiccated Coconut

1/2 Tbs Cinnamon

(You can add other nuts / seeds / fruits that you think will go down a treat with this!)

Method

Pre heat your oven to 220 c. Chop the pecans finely. In a mixing bowl combine all the ingredients. On a large roasting tray spread out the quinoa mixture. Roast in the oven for roughly 20- 30 mins. Turn or shake frequently so all the quinoa gets a nice brown colour. 

Let cool and serve with greek yoghurt or if you feel like treating yourself with 3 Tbs Vanilla yoghurt. 

Enjoy! (I know I did!) 

Delicious served in a small pot with Organic Vanilla Yoghurt and a two teaspoons of the granola on top.
