Dana Shultz from Minimalist Baker is also a fan of our favorite go-to breakfast food, and she shared her favorite recipe for raw granola that takes only five minutes to make. Her recipe is mostly based on raw nuts and dates, but you can easily add a bunch of other tasty ingredients to the mix.

You can also get creative when it comes to serving this 5-minute granola, and make it even tastier with different flavorings, fresh fruits, and yogurt. Check out the full list of ingredients and instructions, and see if you can come up with any amazing ideas on your own.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups raw walnuts (I subbed 1/3 of this amount with sprouted almonds)
• 15 – 17 pitted dates (I prefer medjool/fresh sticky dates work best here)
• 1 heaping Tbsp hemp seeds
• 1 heaping Tbsp flaxseed meal
• 1 tsp chia seeds
• 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
• 1/2 cup gluten-free rolled oats* (omit or substitute to keep truly raw)
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp maca powder (optional)
• 1 pinch sea salt

Instructions

1. To a food processor (which will work better than a blender), add nuts and pulse a few times to roughly chop. Then add dates and pulse about 5 times to loosely combine.
2. Add remaining ingredients and pulse to combine. The mixture should resemble a chunky granola.
3. At this point, you could add extra “flavor” in the form or cacao powder and cacao nibs, dried fruit of choice, or vanilla extract or powder. My preferred is cacao powder and nibs!
4. Enjoy as is, on top of coconut yogurt, or with dairy-free milk! This would work in just about any scenario regular granola would.
5. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 weeks or in the refrigerator for 3 weeks. Transfer to the freezer for longer-term storage (up to 1 month).

A recipe box is a collection of index cards where you write down the name and recipe for your favorite dishes. Although this is a super old school kind of thing, it’s actually really useful if you live a busy life but still want to cook homemade meals.

All you have to do is get index cards and after you make something you like, write it down with as best detail as you can manage while not making it too long.

After a long day of work, coming home and just flipping through your recipe box will help you out so much because it takes the research out of your quest for dinner. Instead of surfing the web for an hour just to find out what you want to eat, you only need a few minutes of perusing your recipe box and you’ll find exactly what you want to cook in no time!
