From Lisa and Nicole: If we ever open a vegan B&B, this will be on each breakfast-in-bed tray. We would keep the guestrooms full by serving it up differently each day–in a layered parfait glass with sliced apples and almond yogurt, or on top of our favourite banana soft serve, or in special tea cup with a substantial splash of coconut milk. The options are endless.

• 1/2 cup (65g) raw walnuts, chopped
• 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/4 cup (40g) raisins
• 1 tbsp (15mL) ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp (2.5mL) sea salt
• 1/4 tsp (1.25mL) fresh ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup (120mL) pure maple syrup

Preparation

Step 1

GRANOLA : DEHYDRATOR METHOD
4. Transfer the granola to a Teflex-lined dehydrator tray and spread into a thin (about 1/2 inch thick), even layer. Dehydrate for 8 to 10 hours at 115F.

OVEN METHOD
4. Preheat the oven to 300F. Transfer the mixture to a baking tray lined with parchment paper and spread into a thin, even layer. Bake for 25 minutes, gently stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even browning. Allow to cool completely before gently breaking into clusters. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge or at room temperature.

Makes about 6 cups of granola.
