Prep School my Aunt Fanny.
Let's do it from the top people.
Hey I'm Megan Mitchell and I'm here in
the Thrive Market Test Kitchen and today I'm gonna show you two granola recipes.
One savory - did you know you can make savory granola, and one sweet; and I love
making homemade granola because I know all the ingredients that go in. I can mix
it up. I can make it taste however I want; it's really easy, and I feel like it's
less expensive, you can buy everything in bulk on thrivemarke.com and then make
it however you want. But before I get started, be sure to like and comment and
subscribe, and when you subscribe it will alert you every time there's a new video
with me you know, and if you're wondering what Thrive Market is, it's an online
market that sells organic and non-gmo products straight to your door. Ok let's
do this! Savory granola. I am flavoring this with rosemary, but
you could do any herb you like, you could do thyme, you could do sage, I don't know.
But I like rosemary. Starts with oats - gluten-free oats, and you can find all
the products you see you in front of me at thrivemarket.com/prepschool
So don't worry, I know where to find them for you. Pistachios, and these are all raw
because I'm baking them I don't want them to already be toasted or roasted
because they might burn. Sliced almonds; you could do slivered almonds
you could do whole almonds and chop them up, and so I'm using pistachios and almonds.
You can use whatever nuts you like: pecans, macadamia nuts, peanuts. I don't
know sunflower seeds, flax seeds for a boost
of protein, and I'm like where do we go - sesame seeds, you could use white or
black. Poppy seeds. I'm using cayenne pepper, you could also use garlic powder,
garlic salt, onion powder, cumin. You can make this whatever
you want, that's the fun part of granola because sometimes I I look at the
ingredients I'm like I don't want that in there,
I don't really like that. Alright, switch that out, and then I did it
because I made it at home. Pepper, salt, freshly chopped rosemary,
extra virgin olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil, a couple tablespoons. Two egg
whites; this acts like a binder and keeps everything together, if you
don't add the egg whites I found it just looks like birdseed. So this keeps it
together, it keeps it in little chunks. One in and I'm just cracking it another
bowl in case I get any shell. I don't want to fish it out, honestly if there was
shell in there I wouldn't be able to see it. Do I just want to crack on the side
bowl so I can see if there's any shell. That flaxseed looks like shell. Mix it up.
You may be wondering what do you do with savory granola Meg? Why do I want to make
that? I actually have a delicious butternut squash soup recipe that I put
it on top, or any soup you could add it to, you could put it over a plain
unsweetened yogurt with a poached egg. Maybe harissa? Just mix this up real good,
you want everything incorporated. Delicious.
Sheet tray. I have my oven preheated to 350 degrees. You want to bake this for 20-25
minutes until golden brown crispy crunchy and spread it out into an even
layer so it gets all nice and toasty roasty - that's a technical term. Let's pop
this in the oven and I'll show you what it looks like when it comes out. This is
cool. I baked it and it's cooled; this is what it looks like - big chunks like this.
you can break it up into smaller chunks. I'm gonna try it.
Crunchy, salty, rosemary. It'ss really delicious.
I think it's pretty good. I want you to meet this oh you to tell me if you make
it I'm gonna put it in a jar this should keep about two weeks in your pantry and
then add it to like I said soups. You could put it over salad if you want
something crunchy in your salads. Maybe even like on a cheese board, like a
cheese and charcuterie board. Alright, I'm gonna grab another jar. I'm gonna
clean up and i'ma show you how to make my sweet granola.
Recipe number two, sweet
granola, and I'm making a chocolate version with cacao powder. Starts off
kind of the same way, gluten-free oats;
and this time I'm adding coconut chips that look like this, or you could use
shredded coconut, but I kind of like the big bite you get when you use these.
Untoasted, unsweetened, everything chopped; raw almonds, and if you want to make this
paleo leave out the oats, add different nuts, add more nuts, go go nuts with it
to make a paleo. Chia seeds for added boost of protein. Flax seeds.
Adding pink Himalayan salt. I always add salt to my sweet.
Cacao powder,
and then I'm gonna make this wet portion in a bowl. 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil,
then I need 1/2 a cup of maple syrup. If you like it a little sweeter you can
bump it up to 3/4 a cup of syrup. I like that when I add the oil before, the
syrup comes out like a glove. Vanilla extract. I don't know if you see you
Thrive Market has their new vanilla extract and it's delicious. 2 egg whites,
once again this keeps everything together. If you're not a big chocolate
fan you could just do vanilla; you could add peanut butter and dried bananas, you
have like peanut butter banana. Sometimes I add just I add dry fruit, but I usually
wait till after so bake your granola and then add the dried fruit after. The
possibilities are endless. So many different ways to do it. Got to add
this in. Whisk this together. I'm gonna stir this before I add this in,
before I add my wet into my dry - just sound like a proper baker, sound like
you're a proper baker. I know how to bake. This granola would be great with almond
milk, with yogurt and berries, as a crumble on top of like a cobbler - like
when I like think of something for the first time I get real psyched. So
funny. Add the wet into the dry,
use all of the bowls you can in your house, it's part of making granola. You
just mix it together until everything's coated and covered. Looks perfection.
Sheet tray. Pour it out get into an even layer. This granola will keep for like
two weeks in an airtight container, it smells really really good, just pop it in,
keep an eye on it since it does have the cacao powder it can burn and then it can
get very bitter so you do not want to over bake this. Flat even layer, I'm gonna
pop this in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown crispy crunchy. I mean
look at that, trying it so you can hear it. My mics here and my mics there, I
don't know where to go. It's crunchy, its chocolatey, its coconutty, it's really
good. Oay I'm gonna show you how I like to serve it up. Bowl, yogurt if you want
make like a little parfait.
I'm gonna sprinkle it over; perfect a little breakfast meal or lunch or
whatever put in a jar on the way so you can take it with you on the way to go -
on the way to go? On the way to go where Meg? That was a weird way to word that. I hope
you make these granolas. I hope you try the savory, and I hope you try the sweet,
let me know which one you like better. You can find all the products that I
used at thrivemarket.com/prepschool. Happy cooking! Make them, let me know! Bye.
do you just have hours of footage of me just stirring. Yeah? For just you guys, use
that for your like personal stuff?
