I designed this recipe so that traditional granola would have even more-Can you say complete protein? 4 grams of protein in a serving, lots of B's, and tons of minerals. Aaaand it has essential amino acids. Also, since it's made with dates, it has more fiber and less of a spike than honey or brown sugar.
1 Cup Uncooked Quinoa
2 Cups Gluten-Free Oats
1/2 Cup Dates, chopped
1/2 Cup Golden Raisins
3 Tbs. Olive Oil
1 Tsp. Pure Vanilla Extract
1/2 Cup Hot Water
1 Tbs. Cinnamon
1 Tsp. Ground Cloves
1 Tsp. Sea Salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, blend dates with water until smooth and runny. In a large bowl, whisk olive oil, date paste, and vanilla together. Whisk in spices and salt. Add quinoa and oats with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon and mix until well coated. Pour onto a cookie sheet and bake until golden brown. Allow to cool (best overnight, it makes little crunchies) and enjoy with yogurt, milk of choice or all by itself.
