Red, White, & Blue and Granola, too!

Sometimes, I really enjoy a bowl of "cereal".  This one, in the pic, is simply banana, blueberries, and raspberries, with sunflower seeds and nutmylk.  Very Yummy!

If you prefer a more traditional looking, and tasting, "cereal" give this granola a try:

coconut cream   3 to 4 tsp

maple syrup    1/4 cup (more or less to taste)

sea salt          pinch

cinnamon     1-2 TB

Handful or two of each:

apple   1/4, chopped small

mulberries

raisins

sunflower seeds

Bob’s Red Mill “7 grain” flakes  1/4 - 1/2 cup (optional, not raw)

Buckwheat groats  3/4 C, soaked 1 hour & sprouted for four hours.

Toss all, and dehydrate until dry.  (Or, eat as is!)

The bf likes this very much!  But, I found I liked this much better before it was dehydrated!  I have come to find that I am not overly fond of most dehydrated foods.  I much prefer fresh, like the one in the pic above!

Notes:  The coconut cream I used was by Tropical Traditions.  If you use Artisana "butter", or WIlderness Family "spread" (or some other) it may take a tad longer to dry.  That's a guess, as they both are considerably runnier than Tropical Traditions.

For those that celebrate this day, I hope you are having a fun, and safe 4th!
