It’s been a crazy few weeks for Basic Eats. With Co-Founders going through job changes, and life… we had a few weeks with no new recipes. Well that is done and we ARE BACK. This new spiced chai granola was the first we had to share.

It’s hard to go back to store-bought granola after making it at home. Not only is it super easy to make, but you can control the ingredients and switch up the flavors. Plus, there are no funky additives!

· Nuts: I’m using a blend of almonds, pecans, and cashews. But feel free to use other nuts of your choice.
· Seeds: Sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds are great for giving this granola a boost in vitamins and nutrients!
· Spices: You’ll need a mix of cinnamon, ground ginger, cardamom, and allspice.
· Sweetener & Flavors: Blackstrap molasses, honey, and vanilla extract act as the binding ingredient for all the nuts and seeds. But they also give this granola sweet touch!

WAYS https://basiclivingbr.com/recipes/spiced-chai-granola/ TO USE GRANOLA

· Make it a part of your breakfast routine. You can top this on yogurt bowls, smoothie bowls, cereal bowls, or even on top of fresh fruit!
· Add some crunch to your dessert. This is great for making fruit crisps, making it a part of chocolate bark, or sprinkling on top of things like ice cream.
· Eat it as a snack. Sometimes, I love to snack on a handful size when I want a quick crunchy bite throughout the day!

Ingredients:

2 cups almonds
¾ cup pecans
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup pumpkin seeds
½ cup cashews
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon cardamom
½ teaspoon allspice
2 tablespoons organic blackstrap molasses
⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
