The good bacteria in your gut will thank you for this yummy breakfast treat. A simple recipe with chock full of gut friendly ingredients, well, except for the white chocolate chips which I have to admit are a bit naughty.
This granola is perfect for oat intolerance & the activated nuts & seeds take it up a notch to ensure proper digestion.

Ingredients:
Quinoa flakes – 1 cup or 250 gm

- Roughly chop the activated nuts and seeds
- In a clean and dry bowl, combine dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients to it. Combine well to ensure uniform coating.
- Spread this mixture on the baking tray, making sure you are pressing it firmly to help the granola stick together & get crunchy.
- Cook for 12-18 minutes ( depending on the heat distribution in your oven) or until the mixture turns slightly golden. Keep an eye on the tray as it is easy to burn a granola mix.
- Take out of the oven and set aside to cool.
