A KICK OF TUMERIC GRANOLA

A KICK OF TUMERIC GRANOLA

Start your day with an inflammatory kick!

Turmeric is something I tried to incorporate more into my diet this year. I have seen recipes for golden milk, fancy sauces, and unique dishes featuring turmeric. It can be scary at first because of the bright color, but once you get used to the flavor you will truly enjoy experimenting with this fun spice.

The golden color surprises me every time I use Turmeric. It is so pretty and vibrant!

I always say to it is important to add color to your diet, and spices are no exception. A little spice in your life can go a long way. I never would have thought that a savory spice like turmeric would work great in this sweet granola topping, but it really does!

A KICK OF TUMERIC GRANOLA

  • 3 cups puffed brown rice (make sure it is unsweetened with only one ingredient!)
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup slivered almonds
  • 2 1/2 tbsp tumeric
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • spray coconut oil

Instructions

Instructions

Storage

  • Store in an airtight container and enjoy for a few weeks... or as long as it lasts without getting devoured!

Notes

All toasted up and ready to go!
The turmeric is not the only thing that makes this granola special. I used puffed rice for part of the grains this time. Let me tell you ... it turned out amazing! The puffed rice gives a light and airy texture that I love. The rice increases the volume of the granola overall, so this can be a great topping or just a grab-and-go handful snack.
 
DID SOMEONE SAY SAMOAS?

DID SOMEONE SAY SAMOAS?

  Yep! I did say Samoa! Honestly, as a child I never tried a Samoa. Something about the coconut or the idea that my mom loved them made them not appealing to me. I have to admit that I have still never had a Samoa, …
