So, guys, we make decisions every single day. Sometimes we make up our minds very fast and then let's say, we're obsessed with some idea, we say "ok, starting from tomorrow things will change" but then... next morning our inspiration vanishes somewhere even faster than it appeared! Happened to you? Oh yes, happened to me as well. Many times :)
But there actually ARE some decisions, that grow up in our heads slowly, with full understanding of WHAT we are doing and WHY we are doing this. I'm not gonna dig deeply into the topic of veganism, it's pros end cones etc. I'll probably make a separate post about this whole thing - including the root cause and consequences. But this will be later.
Today I just want to share an idea of an extremely healthy, easy, tasty breakfast, and on top of that - really fast one! Because come on, we don't want to waste time on making breakfast forever... Actually, this "something" you can cook once in a big portion and then keep it for about a month and it still will be ok :) And this "something" is called homemade granola.
Yeah, just one note, it's probably only for sweet-breakfasts lovers... Reminded me of guys from my work, they're like: "Miaaaaa what's that? Are we birds or something?" :) Well, not birds, but birds would definitely eat that too, I guess...
So, biggest part of it is grocery shopping. Here's the approx list of what you can buy (and feel free to add some other things), that's just my quick version:
- Oatmeal (rolled oats, slow cooking - I mean those in bigger pieces)
- Maple/Date syrup (you can replace it with honey, but it won't be vegan anymore)
- Vegetable oil (coconut or.... I chose palm oil - it's awesome or olive oil will do as well)
- Sunflower, pumpkin seeds
- Nuts, nuts, nuts (whichever you have - just chop them)
- Dry fruits (raisins or anything you like)
- Coconut strips
- Flax seeds
- Vanilla extract
Pretty much it. Now you have it all and you can go on and heat the oven to 150 C.
Recipe is as easy as you can imagine. First of all, mix 2 big spoons of oil + 150ml maple syrup + vanilla extract (1 tbsp.) + a pack of oatmeal (about 400g)... Mix it like that :)
Add the nuts and seeds. Don't add coconut and/or dried fruit yet...
Mix it again (wow, this becomes complicated) and place it on a foil before putting to the oven...
This one above is with extra date syrup, because I really like it SWEET :)
Bake it for some 10-15 min, then add coconut strips and raisins and let it bake for another 10min or so...
And voilà! Your personal granola is ready. Now you can put it in nice fancy jars and you'll have breakfast ready for next week or two :)
It goes well with water or milk (I mean almond or coconut), but I personally just pour some water and put it to the microwave for 30 sec. And then I just enjoy it while reading my e-mails with a large, no... HUGE cup of morning coffee :)
And a really quick post, took me 15 minutes in total :)
Bon Appétit!
p.s. see you soon...
p.p.s. this really tastes good and it doesn't contain any sh*t they usually put in packed products :)
