Matcha Granola
A little Matcha granola that is easy to make and to enjoy during a healthy and delicious brunch this weekend!
For 4 to 6 servings:
• 75 g of oat flakes
• 25 g. rice flakes (or oat flakes)
• 25 g. grated coconut
• 10 g. chia seeds
• 40 g of nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts, hazelnuts, etc.)
• 1/2 teaspoon of matcha powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional)
• 30 g. maple syrup
• 30 g of melted coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 15 g. coconut chips
Preheat the oven to 170°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the oats, rice flakes, shredded coconut, chia seeds, walnuts, matcha and cardamom.
Add the maple syrup, melted coconut oil and vanilla extract. Mix with a spatula to coat all the ingredients and distribute the matcha evenly.
Spread the mixture on the baking sheet in a compact and even layer and bake for 15 minutes. Then turn the baking sheet so that the side at the back of the oven is on the door side, without stirring the granola, and bake for 10 more minutes. Just before the end of cooking, add the coconut chips and continue cooking for 2 minutes until the granola is golden brown.
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely, for at least 30 minutes, before breaking it into pieces. Store the granola in an airtight container in a dry place.
Enjoy it as is or with plant-based yogurt, fresh fruit or as a smoothie topping :)
The Smoothie Bowl
See life on the funky side, with this colorful smoothie bowl! Perfect to accompany homemade matcha granola.
For 4 people, you need:
• 4 bananas
• 250 g. of fresh fruit (depending on the season) or frozen (here we chose kiwis for the creamy base)
• 3 handfuls of spinach
• 45 cl. of almond milk
Cut the bananas into slices and put them in the freezer. Prepare a quantity in advance, to use as and when you want a smoothie!
Rinse fruit and spinach if necessary.
In a food processor, blend all ingredients until smooth. Unleash your creativity and sprinkle the smoothie bowl with little treats: flaked almonds, goji berries, Funky Veggie Ball Heart cut in half, raw cacao nibs, strawberries, hemp seeds, shredded coconut, banana slices... Get creative. The matcha granola recipe is perfect as a topping to pair with the smoothie!
