Instructions
Chia Pudding
- In a mason jar add the oat milk, chia seeds and maple syrup. Stir and leave out for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, break up the already thickened mixture with a spoon, cover with a lid or plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours or overnight. The mixture should now be a thick and creamy pudding consistency.
Mixed Berry Compote
- In a medium sauce pan on low temperature, add the blueberries, raspberries and blackberries, agave syrup, water and lemon juice. Continually stir until the berries have broken down and the the liquid has thickened. It will continue to thicken as it cools, but if it seems too wet, mix together 2 teaspoons of arrowroot powder to 1 tablespoon of warm water and add the slurry to the compote. Stir until mixture thickens. This all should take about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to completely cool.
Date Granola
- Chop the dates and set aside. To a medium sized mixing bowl add oats, oat bran, crushed walnuts, coconut flax seeds, almond meal, cinnamon and mix until well incorporated. Add the dates and mix until the dates are will incorporated and coated. Next, add the water and maple syrup and gently combine. The granola mix will be slightly wet but not mushy. Lay mixture out on a cookie sheet. Once spread out, the mixture should be about 1/2 inch thick. Set in an oven at 250° F for about 15-20 minutes. Check often and pull out when the mixture turns a golden brown. Let cool completely. Once cooled, you can break apart the granola into chunks and enjoy!
