grainless tigernut cinnamon granola


crunchy, chewy, nutty, and so flavorful. this easy 10 minute granola is a healthy kitchen staple.
i love tiger nuts because of their slightly sweet, nutty flavor and nutrient levels! they are an awesome source of prebiotic fiber. a perfect substitute for oats! feel free to substitute any seeds/nuts you prefer. 

ingredients:
1/2 c sliced tigernuts
1/2 c raw almonds
1/2 c raw pecans
1/2 c raw cashews
1/2 c pumpkin seeds
1/2 c unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 c almond butter
cream from the top of 1 can organic full fat coconut milk
stevia to taste
1-2 T cinnamon
1/2 t sea salt

-preheat oven to 300F, or dehydrator to 115F to keep it raw (personally, i like this version baked!)
-all the first 4 ingredients to your food processor and chop well. add to a bowl and mix in all other ingredients until well incorporated. 
-spread out evenly on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 15 min, then turn the pan 180 degrees and bake another 15-20 min until golden and fragrant. (or dehydrate until crunchy)
-cool, then break up and store in an airtight container...but it won't last long!
