It does take a little time to do this, but worth the effort.<br \/>\nI soaked the whole nuts overnight covered with water. Drained them, and then spread evenly on two trays in the oven at a very low heat of 65 Degrees Celsius.  These baked for about 13 hours (turning them occasionally).  The original recipe said 12 \u2013 24 hours to get them completely dried.  When these were done I chopped them roughly to add to the recipe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOTES:<\/strong><\/ul>\n<p>I like to bake mine for this long as it makes it crunchy, but if you prefer a softer cereal, bake for less time.  I doubled the recipe, so possibly less cooking time if you just use the set amount<\/p>\n<p>Next time, I think I would leave out the Chia seeds, as I find them very crunchy<\/p>\n<p>The Nuts I used this time were Almonds, Pepitas and Sunflower Seeds, but you could add anything you liked really.  Options are cashews, walnuts, pecans etc.  Also adding a teaspoon of cinnamon would be nice.<br \/>\nBinn Inn had great choices of all of the ingredients, with lots of options of other puffed grains to choose from.<br \/>\nRice Malt Syrup: is made by culturing brown rice to produce a natural alternative to sugar that\u2019s wheat-free, fructose-free and suitable for vegans. It\u2019s mild nutty flavour is about half as sweet as cane sugar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Granola \u2013 Low Sugar Cereal 2 Cups Coconut Flakes 3 Cups Nuts (roughly chopped) (Activated, see below) 2 Tablespoons Chia seeds \u00bd Cup Buck wheat 2 Cups Puffed Millet 2 Cups Rolled Oats 100 grams Coconut Oil (Melt this and then mix with the Syrup) 3 Tablespoons Rice Malt Syrup Preheat the oven to 140&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":709,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-708","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breakfast","wpcat-25-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/debskitchen.co.nz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/708","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/debskitchen.co.nz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/debskitchen.co.nz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/debskitchen.co.nz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/debskitchen.co.nz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=708"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/debskitchen.co.nz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/708\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":710,"href":"https:\/\/debskitchen.co.nz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/708\/revisions\/710"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/debskitchen.co.nz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/709"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/debskitchen.co.nz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=708"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/debskitchen.co.nz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=708"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/debskitchen.co.nz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=708"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
