Raw Granola!


I want to highlight one of my friend's (aka brother's girlfriend's dad) blogs The Herb N Basket. He just recently started a blog about gardening and lets you follow him on his journey! I personally want to learn to garden and grow my own food! I will definitely be following his blog!
On another note, I love granola bars, seriously, it is crazy how much I love granola bars. So, I decided to make my own raw granola bars with my handy dandy nesco dehydrator! I love them so much and they are such a great snack for in between classes at school!

Raw Granola Bar Recipe:

2 cups of flax seeds
1 cup of water
3 cups of dried coconut
1 cup of dates
4 tablespoons of honey
1 tablespoon of cinnamon

* First soak the flax seeds in one cup of water for about thirty minutes. Next put the dried coconut into the food processor and process until very fine. Cut up the dates fine and then add them to the food processor and process until fine. Mix the Flax seeds with the coconut and date combo and then stir in the honey and cinnamon making sure everything is mixed together very well. Finally spread the mixture out on the dehydrator trays (about 1/2 inch thickness) and set the dehydrator to 115 degrees. Leave the granola in the dehydrator for about 12 hours or until crisp. Then, just break pieces apart.

* I usually make up this mixture before I go to bed so that when I wake up in the morning I have granola ready for the day!
