Granola é uma mistura de flocos de aveia, frutos secos, sementes, coco e mel (ou outros adoçantes) que vai para o forno, por isso tem uma textura crocante e completamente viciante. O que eu adoro nestes cereais é a sua versatilidade, porque podem ser feitos com os seus grãos em flocos e frutos secos preferidos, e nesta receita até adicionei sementes de cânhamo, que contém todos os aminoácidos essenciais e a proporção ideal de ômega 3 e 6 (1:3), tornando esta granola mais nutritiva e adequada para quem é mais activo fisicamente.
E porque é tão fácil de fazer, (basta seguir as instruções), eu recomendo que façam a granola ao fim de semana, ou quando tiverem mais tempo, para durante a semana ter à mão um pequeno almoço rápido e prático, que basta adicionar um pouco de iogurte ou leite vegetal e frutas frescas e está pronto a comer.
Granola com sementes de cânhamo
(Rende 8 chávenas, o equivalente a aproximadamente 16 doses)
4 chávenas de aveia em flocos (grossos)
1 chávena de nozes (ou amêndoas, avelãs…)
1/2 chávena de sementes de cânhamo (ou outro tipo de sementes se não tiverem de cânhamo)
1/4 chávena de sementes de girassol ou abóbora
1 ½ chávenas de coco ralado
4 colheres de sopa (50g) de óleo de coco (podem ser utilizados outros óleos vegetais)
3/4 chávena de mel (ou outros adoçantes naturais)
Pré-aqueça o forno a 300 º F (150 º C).
Misture a aveia, as sementes, nozes (partidas em quartos ou metades), e o coco ralado numa taça. Aqueça o adoçante e o óleo de coco numa panela pequena em lume baixo, deixe-os derreter e misture bem os dois líquidos. Adicione esta mistura húmida na aveia e envolva bem.
Espalhe metade da granola numa camada fina, numa forma com papel vegetal para ir ao forno (para os cereais não se colarem à forma). Cozinhe a granola durante 30 minutos ou até quando estiver levemente dourada, mexendo-a de 10 em 10 minutos para não torrar. Repita este procedimento para a restante granola.
Depois de remover do forno, deixe arrefecer, coloque a granola num recipiente fechado e guarde-a à temperatura ambiente.
English version
Granola is a mixture of rolled oats, dried fruits, nuts and seeds, coconut and sweeteners that goes to the oven, and comes out with a delicious and crunchy mixture, quite filling and a really practical and fast breakfast for everyone. What I love about granola is that it’s so versatile, because you can add your favorite nuts, rolled grains and dried fruits. In this recipe I even added hemp seeds, that, as everyone knows, has all the essential aminoacids and the ideal proportion of omega 3 and 6, turning this granola really nutritious, and more adequate breakfast for those who are more active.
And because it’s so easy to make, I recommend everybody to do this during the weekend, or when you have more time, and to enjoy this with some yogurt or milk and fresh fruits for breakfast.
Granola with hemp seeds
(Makes about 8 cups)
4 cups rolled oats
1 cup nuts (walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts)
¼ cup hemp seeds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds
1 1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup (50g) coconut oil
3/4 cup honey (or other natural sweeteners)
Preheat the oven to 300ºF (150ºC).
Combine the oats, sunflower and hemp seeds, nuts and shredded coconut in a bowl. Heat the sweetener and the coconut oil in a small pan over low heat, let them melt and whisk to combine. Add this wet mixture to the oats and stir until everything is well mixed.
Spread half of the granola in a baking sheet, into a thin layer. Bake for 30 minutes or until the oats are golden brown, and stir them every 10 minutes. Repeat the same procedure for the rest of the granola
After removing them from the oven let the granola cool completely and then store it in an airtight container.



Ahha – another granola fiend – this looks delicious! You might like my most recent post.
Thanks! I really liked your recent post, and I have to try those bars :p
Looks delicious. I use orange juice in my granola recipes as the liquid and it adds a nice sweetness without having to use oil.
Thanks for the tip ! I’m going to try that next time : )

Morro de vontade de experimentar sementes de cânhamo, mas aqui onde moro não vende:-(
Oh , a sério ? Também só descobri recentemente que vendiam alguns produtos aqui em Portugal , como o óleo , a proteína e as sementes , mas são bastante caros . Mas é uma pena não venderem aí porque de facto são as minhas sementes preferidas , e nutricionalmente são muito boas …
Hello,
I was wondering if you ever had an interest in having some of your recipes published in an International/National publication that also supports & writes about Hemp energy/fuel & nutrition? We are The Art Of MaryJane Magazine. http://www.theartofmaryjane.com
We are a growing publication that cares about creating more awareness as to the healing benefits of marijuana and hemp and organic foods. We have people who tell us we are like, HighTimes, Rolling Stone(for the articles) & Maxim (for our classy models we feature in every issue) We did our first benefit last year to help Little Cashy (was 2 years old when he was diagnosed with 4rth stage brain cancer) now 3 and his father saved his life from deadly drugs, & radiation treatments by sneaking cannabis oil in the belly button. The story was all over ABC News. I would love to hear if your interested and would like me to e-mail you some material.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Warmest,
Racquel Knight-Executive Producer
