  • ¼ cup 28 g flax meal
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons 32 g natural peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon 15 ml canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons 42 g agave nectar or 30 ml pure maple syrup
  • ½ cup 58 g nondairy semisweet chocolate chips or 66 g white chocolate chips or 40 g carob chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C, or gas mark 4).
  • Prepare a large, rimmed baking sheet.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, brown rice flour, flax meal, and sea salt.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together natural peanut butter, canola oil, and agave nectar until well combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until evenly coated.
  • Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 8 minutes, then stir well.
  • Bake for an additional 8 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and immediately stir in the chocolate chips.

  • Allow the granola to cool on the baking sheet.
  • Once cooled, transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.

Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:

Wine Advice:
This granola pairs well with a glass of lightly chilled, sweet white wine like a Riesling, which complements the sweetness of the agave nectar and chocolate.
