Chewy baked bar with lots of fiber and protein. Generous serving can be halved. Ingredients:
1 cup whole almonds |
1 coconut |
3/4 cup turbinado sugar |
1/2 cup chopped dates |
1 cup quick oats |
1/4 cup wheat germ |
1/8 cup ground flax seed |
1 cup unsweetened soy milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Process almonds to a powder. Crack coconut, remove meat and shred.
3. In large bowl, combine almonds, coconut, oats, wheat germ, flax seed, sugar and salt.
4. Blend or process dates with soy milk and vanilla.
5. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
6. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Alternately, baking sheet can be greased or oiled but it adds more fat to the recipe.
7. Press mixture firmly onto baking sheet about 1/2 inch thick. If not firmly packed, mixture will crumble apart into granola.
8. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
9. Raise temperature to 450 and bake 7-10 minutes more until lightly golden. Thin edges do tend to burn.
10. Cool completely and cut into at least 12 bars. Stores well in an airtight container or individually wrapped.
