| Nut & Seed Ultra Granola: No-added-sugar, High-Protein |
(Updated 5/19)
This vegan breakfast cereal is an exceptionally tasty, gently sweetened, lightly crunchy granola that is also very healthy. The combination of sunflower, sesame and pumpkin seeds is said to have the same protein value of steak.

The recipe was inspired by a 20-year-old No-Sugar cookbook which the Blogger no longer has. Changes were made for maximum taste, texture and goodness.
It's an easy-peasy recipe -- mix, slide into the oven and allow the aroma of baked grains and nuts waft tantalisingly through your home.
67 loves organic Irish oatmeal* but standard oats are also excellent and economical. Either way, with the money saved, berries to scatter on top become more affordable.
The frugal can halve the amount of seeds and nuts and store the remainder in an air-tight container for next time

Tips:
• many who sampled this granola loved the flavour and texture but missed the sweetness of commercial cereals; if you must, halfway through the baking time, add 1/3 to 1/2 cup of honey or maple syrup; stir until small clumps are formed; continue baking until browned
• take this, dry, to the office in a air-tight container and add milk, cream or yoghurt.
Ultra Granola Porridge with Molasses Sugar & cream

| Winter Warmer - Ultra Granola Porridge |
The Granola also makes unbelieveably good porridge. Measure out 1/4 to 1/3 cup granola per person, stir in 3x the amount of water (the Scots always add more water than we do) bring to a boil, stir clockwise for one minute, then turn heat to low. Leave 2-5 minutes until smooth and creamy. Add molasses (black) sugar plus single cream, milk or yoghurt.
At the office: add 3x the amount of granola in liquid; cook on top of stove (preferred) OR microwave on med in a very large (!) bowl, covered, for 3 mins
