Awesome Granola Dust Recipes

AWESOME GRANOLA DUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.
• Place the oats, nuts and seeds in your largest roasting tray. Toss together and roast for 15 minutes, stirring halfway.
• Stir the dried fruit, cocoa and coffee into the mix, finely grate over the orange zest, then, in batches, simply blitz to a rough powder in a food processor, tipping it into a large airtight jar as you go for safekeeping.
• To serve, you can have loads of fun - the simplest way is 50g of granola dust per person, either with cold cow's, goat's, soya, nut or oat milk or 2 tablespoons of natural yoghurt, and a handful of fresh fruit (80g is one of our 5-a-day). You can make porridge using 50g of granola dust to 200ml of milk, then top with fresh fruit, and this ratio also works for a smoothie - I like to chuck 1 ripe banana and 1 handful of frozen raspberries into the mix too. It's even a great base for pancakes - simply beat 2 heaped tablespoons of granola dust with 1 heaped tablespoon of wholemeal self-raising flour, 1 mashed banana and 1 large free-range egg, then cook as normal. And in winter, try a hot drink - heat 25g of granola dust with 200ml of your favourite milk to your desired consistency.
