Granola doesn't have to be an oat-filled affair. This Maple Pecan Teff Granola uses Ivory Teff for a wholesome and super nutritious granola that boasts a unique nutty flavour. Teff is a fantastic option for breakfast time, providing a hefty dose of nutrients to get your daily nutrient count off to a winning start.

Like quinoa and chia, teff is gluten free and full of abundant nutrients. The key superstars are: iron, calcium, amino acids, vitamin B, and vitamin K. It's also a gut health hero, aiding digestion and restoring balance to your gut's bacteria.

Ingredients

1 cup Teff Ivory Grain
1 tbs cinnamon
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla bean
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup almond meal
1/3 cup shredded coconut
1/3 cup pecans, roughly chopped

Method

airtight container until required.
