Simple Raw Cinnamon Granola

[Mackenzie]

I'm a terrible cook but this sounds really simple and yummy--like even I could make it right! Can't wait to try it.

this recipe was a perfect place to start from. I ended up needing to add about 1/4-1/2 cup more oats to soak up all the maple syrup but that wasn't a huge deal. I also added 1/4 cup chopped pecans, 1/4 cup chopped walnuts and 1/2 cup slivered almonds. I upped the spices as well to almost a tsp of cinnamon and about a 1/2 tsp nutmeg because I like my spices .
When I eat this (with soymilk because I'm not anywhere near 100% raw) I put fresh or frozen raspberries on top and it adds a delicious hint of fruity flavor.

This was super easy and simple, but I don't think any of my ingredients were actually raw!

Hint: mix the spices with the maple syrup before you add it to the oats and almonds.

This is good. I usually eat without any liquid......just straight.

technically, this isn't a raw recipe. rolled oats are steamed and not considered raw. but you could use raw oat grouts instead. i don't say that to be a brat, but noticed you posted a link about raw/living foods in your post. I think "uncooked" would be a better word choice.

my DR eats uncooked rolled oats every day. they are very good and this looks pretty tasty... i've had thinks like this in the past.

Thanks Baypuppy. I was wondering about oats being raw. I am trying to stay raw during the day. I might try the grouts instead.

groats? grout is the stuff between tiles, no? (sorry)
maple syrup is also heated extensively.
I've actually wondered about spices though--does anyone know if cinnamon is 'raw' or not?

Oat groats are whole oats. About spices, it depends on your source.
