No Waste 'Milk' Pulp Granola
/
This is a great recipe for using up the leftover pulp from making your own oat / nut/seed milks. You can even freeze your left over pulp from making milk until you have a big enough batch, or adjust recipe and make little and often. This recipe is a guide based on one found on The First Mess.
Ingredients (when in italics available from the van)
2.5 cups of pulp leftover from making milk
1/2 cup of nuts/seeds/oats of choice
1/4 cup of coconut oil melted, or use olive oil if looking to make a more savoury granola
approx 6 tablespoons sweetener of choice (maple or date syrup, molasses, malt rice barley, apple juice etc) or if making savoury 1-2 tablespoons of tamari
1/2 teaspoon of salt
optional add ins:
ground cinnamon
vanilla
citrus zest
herbs and spices if savoury
Method
Preheat the oven to 125 C. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a saucepan gently melt oil and add your sweeteners, stir to combine and take off heat. In a large bowl mix milk pulp with the remaining dry ingredients and then add your oil and sweetener mix and combine well.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the lined baking sheets and bake for 1 - 2 hours, until golden, stirring every 15 minutes or so for even browning.
Allow the granola to cool, you can then add any optional extras such as coconut, dried fruit, and additional seeds (if using). Store the nut pulp granola in a sealed container for 1-2 weeks.
Zero Waste Tips
Save your parchment paper after use - we often reuse parchment for a few bakes before replacing with a new sheet, composting the old one when finished.
This is a great recipe for using up small amounts of nuts, seeds and dried fruits you may have at the back of your cupboard!
