Рецепт Sour Cream & Onion Hemp Millet Crunch Snack/Granola and Hemp Giveaway. Gluten-free Vegan Recipe
You know by now that I love savory spicy things right. Food bars and granola are one thing that become bothersome when I have to depend on them on long drives and things. All are always sweet. Though I can imagine how frustrated hubbs gets on his hikes depending on dates, dried fruit and chocolate-ty options. So I decided I wanted a lick my fingers sour cream and onion something. Salty and not sweet. And sour cream and onion it is in this granola! Crunchy, crispy, salty, oniony! Eat as is, or add to salads or soups.
The granola has puffed millet, oats and hemp seeds, bound together by almond butter, coconut oil, sour buttermilk, tons of spices. You can use any puffed grain and seeds and change up the flavor profile as you go. You really need to make this. Is it a granola or a trail mix? or what should I call these clusters. I think it is more of a trail mix, since it is eaten as a snack as is, and its not added to milk or yogurt things. Ah well, the next savory one will be called a trail mix. :) Don't think of it as granola if that helps. Its just a crunchy savory snack like sour cream and onion chips.
This is one fun snack to keep around when you do not want to eat a sweet bar or eat up a whole bag of potato chips! Try it. To make this into bars, you will need to add a bit more wet and pack it well. Also, enter the giveaway below for a sample pack of hemp goodies including hemp seeds, protein powder, oil and things.
