Low Oxalate | Coconut Granola
Coconut Granola
It's been a challenge finding store bought granola that aren't full of various high oxalate seeds and nuts. A low oxalate diet has been a key factor in keeping my vulvodynia pain under control. I created this granola recipe with ingredients, like coconut and sunflower seeds, that i've been able to tolerate well. I also added in the adaptogen He Shou Wu for it's fertility enhancing, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. It's got blood purifying and building and hormone balancing capabilities too!
ingredients:
3 cups Whole Grain Rolled Oats
1 cup Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
2/3 cup Sunflower Seed
1/2 tsp Salt
3 tsp Root & Bones He Shou Wu
3/4 Coconut Oil
2 TBSP Honey
2 TBSP Real Maple Syrup
1 tsp Vanilla
Mix oats, coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, salt, and He Shou Wu in a bowl. In a separate bowl mix warm coconut oil, honey, real maple syrup, and vanilla. Add the wet mixture to the bowl of dry ingredients and stir to combine. Pour mixture evenly onto a high sided cookie sheet.
Bake at 300 Degrees for 25 minutes. Use a spatula to turn over the granola, and bake for another 15 minutes.
Tips: Warm the coconut oil over heat or in the microwave for about 35 seconds prior to mixing with the other wet ingredients.
Enjoy over your favorite granola and fruit...
Or alone as a tasty lil' snack...
Enjoy!
