Favorite Granola Recipe (Yet)

Dr. Josephene's Favorite Granola Recipe Yet

Warning: It's a 3 day process. I've probably shared it before and I'll share it again. I've been making this granola for years and life is not complete if there's not a bucket of this in my fridge.

Day 1: Check if you have milk kefir; If not, culture 1 1/2 cups of milk with milk kefir grains.

Day 2: Aim to start early in the day. Combine first 5 (or 6) ingredients, cover and let sit on counter for 24 hours.    

• 8 cups rolled oats
• 3/4 cup melted coconut oil
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1 1/2 cups kefir (or cultured buttermilk)
• 1 cup water (if you need more add a bit more, just to make it moist enough to soak, if it is moist without it, just skip)
• 1 cup nuts (optional) – sliced almonds are my preference. (soaking the nuts make them easier to digest, compatible with a Weston A Price diet). If you forget to soak them, add at the last step.

Day 3: On stove, combine next 5 ingredients. Mix with oats. Bake in low oven (200 degrees F) for 4 hours.   

• 1/2 cup raw honey
• 3/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 4 tsp cinnamon
• 4 tsp vanilla extract

Once cooled, add the rest!

• 1 cup dried coconut, shredded
• 1-2 cups dried fruit, chopped (apples, apricots, whatever you prefer)
• 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds, chopped
• 1 cup nuts (optional) - sliced almonds are my preference.

Enjoy! Despite the debates about eating grains, most theories agree that soaked grains are easier to digest.
