Simple Vegan Granola Recipe

Granola is so much fun!  You can have it for breakfast, as a snack, or even as dessert--it's so versatile!  If you want to get a high quality granola from the grocery store, it tends to be quite expensive.  So save yourself some money and make your own batch of it at home!

Ingredients:
2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup flax seeds
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
2 cups unsweetened (or fruit juice sweetened) cornflakes
4 tbsp. oil
1/2 cup agave syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup dried fruit
1 tbsp cinnamon

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 300.  Mix all the dry ingredients (except the dried fruit) together.  (Go ahead and mix it with your hands!)  In a separate bowl, mix together all the wet ingredients.  Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix together well.  Put mixture into a baking pan and bake for 25 minutes.  Take it out of the oven, mix it up a little bit, and blend in the dried fruit.  Put it back in the oven for approx. 12 minutes.  Take it out of the oven and let it cool completely.  Then enjoy!

Vegan Banana Blueberry Bread Recipe

We absolutely love banana bread!  We love to experiment with it by adding different spices and such, and see what we come up with!  This is one of our favorite combos... bananas and blueberries!

Ingredients:
3 very ripe bananas
6 oz. blueberries
1/2 cup agave syrup
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup earth balance (melted)
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp baking soda
cinnamon (to taste)

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.  In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork, set aside.  In a separate mixing bowl combine the flour, earth balance, agave syrup, sea salt, and baking soda.  Pour the mashed bananas into the flour mixture and blend evenly.  Add cinnamon to taste, and mix evenly.  Pour the blueberries into the mixture and mix evenly.  Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes, or until it is cooked all the way through.  Enjoy!
