Sloane is one snack-y little lady. She's been this way since day one, always preferring lots of small meals throughout the day instead of the standard larger ones.<\/p>\n

She goes through phases when it comes to snack preferences though, teetering between the world of fresh fruits and veggies (always with globs of hummus) and dried goods like granola, crackers, etc.<\/p>\n

A few weeks back it was granola or bust (we're back to fruit now), and so I worked out this super seedy rendition and liked the results so much I figured I'd make it official.<\/p>\n

This seedy granola is super easy to make, requiring just 10 minutes of active kitchen time. It makes a big batch so that you can nosh and snack and crunch throughout the week. And it's filled with fiber-rich oats and mineral-rich seeds.<\/p>\n

I most love it served over plant-based yogurt with a drizzle of tahini and fresh berries, but it's also perfect for straight-from-the-jar snacking.<\/p>\n

To make it, you'll round up your dry ingredients, including rolled oats, sunflower seeds, pepitas, chia seeds (optional), and dried cranberries or dried cherries. Add them to a bowl and stir to combine.<\/p>\n

Next, whisk together maple syrup, sunflower butter, coconut oil, aquafaba (briny liquid from a can of chickpeas\u2014binds the granola together and adds a glossy sheen), vanilla, cinnamon, and salt over low heat until smooth and glossy.<\/p>\n

Pour the sweet liquid over the dry ingredients and toss to coat.<\/p>\n

Transfer the mixture to a parchment-lined baking pan and use a spatula to spread it into an even layer across the pan.<\/p>\n

Bake the granola at 275F for 45 minutes. Slow and steady is key to winning the granola game.<\/p>\n

The trick with granola is using your eyes and nose to assess doneness as opposed to your hands. It will always feel a touch soft or soggy when it's indeed perfectly baked, because it continues to crisp and firm as it cools. If you wait until it feels crispy in the oven, it will also be burnt.<\/p>\n

Transfer the finished pan of granola to a cooling rack and cool completely. Patience is a virtue here as it takes about 45 minutes to cool.<\/p>\n

Once the granola has cooled, break it into clusters. If you try to break it before it's cooled, it will crumble, which is why the cooling time is imperative.<\/p>\n

Store the clusters in large airtight glass jars or containers to maintain its crispness.<\/p>\n

Serve as desired and enjoy. \ud83d\udc97<\/p>\n
