It's easy to make a healthy gluten-free vegan granola! This simple plant-based recipe has millet, oats, pumpkin seeds, almonds, and raisins. With no refined sugars, syrups, or oils. A delicious, nutritious snack.
Preheat oven to 325F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
To make the Date-Flax paste:
Combine the dates, ground flax, and 3/4 cup warm water. Let sit for at least 5 minutes, to soften. Then, use a blender to puree the mixture until smooth. While you're waiting for the dates to soak, you can measure your other granola ingredients.
To make the Pumpkin Seed Millet Granola:
In a large bowl, combine the oats, millet, sesame seeds, almonds, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, ginger, pumpkin seeds, and salt (everything but the raisins). Pour the date paste into the bowl with the oats mixture. Stir to mix granola.
Spread the granola mixture into a single layer on the lined baking sheet. Bake at 325F for 45 minutes, until golden brown. Stir every 15-20 minutes.
When the granola is done, remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Stir in the raisins.
Leave on the counter, uncovered, for up to 10 days. Freeze for longer storage.
