Kale Chips & Granola

I'm gunna post two recipes here. My granola recipe and my kale chips. :-) I gave up on the bread.


Kale Chips

Bunch of kale, ripped to bite size pieces.
1 part Tamari
1/2 part Honey
1 part Apple Cider vinegar (the raw stuff if possible!)
3/4 part Olive oil

Toss

Dehydrate until crispy.
Steal pieces before they are done. Its like healthy candy, omg!



Granola (this has been a 4 year trial and error, finally ready for publication recipe!!!!)

3 c. Oats
OR
1 c. Quinoa Flakes
1c Buckwheat Crispies (Whole buckwheat groats soaked for 24 hours and dehydrated)
1. Enjoy Life Perky's Crunchy Flax (or Rice)

1/4 c Brown sugar
1/3 c Oat or Rice Bran
~1/3 c Coconut Flakes
~3/4 c Puffed Rice cereal (I use Rice Twice by Erewhon)
1/4 c Vegetable oil
1/4 c Honey

opt:
1/3 c chopped nuts
to desire dried fruit, chopped
1/4 c sunflower or pumpkin seeds
1/8 c sesame seeds
1 tsp vanilla or almond extract


1. Toast oats or quinoa in oven on 350F no more than 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile combine all ingredients in a large bowl (except fruit, oil, and honey)
3. Add oats/quinoa flakes to bowl and add oil and honey. Mix well.
4. Lay out on a baking sheet or shallow casserole dish and bake no more than 25 mins, stirring and checking every 5 minutes to make sure it isn't burning. It burns easily!
5. Take out of oven and add fruit. Cool completely (up to an hour or two) before storing in an airtight bag or container.
