Soaked Oat Maple Cinnamon Granola {Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Vegan}
20 servings
This tasty granola is an awesome way to start the day!
Ingredients
For Soaking:
- 7 cups gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 cup raw buckwheat groats
- 1 cup whole raw almonds
- 3/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 1 14 oz can coconut milk
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 1/2 cups water
For Baking:
- 1 1/2 cups maple syrup I use Grade B
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
Optional Mix-ins:
- 1 cup dried cherries or cranberries
- 1 cup toasted coconut flakes
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients for soaking into a large bowl. Stir to thoroughly combine. Then cover and let sit at room temperature for 24-30 hours.
- After 24 hours, preheat the oven to 200F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Mix the maple syrup, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla into the soaked oat mixture, until evenly combined. Pour half of the granola mixture onto each baking sheet. Spread into a thin, even layer.
- Bake the granola at 200F for 8-10 hours, until very dry and crispy. To insure crispy granola, flip and mix the granola around on each sheet tray every 2 hours. After the granola has dehydrated, I like to turn the oven off and leave it in the warm oven overnight.
- Serve with almond milk, over fruit/yogurt, or eat it by the handful! Enjoy!
