Granola Version 1

On June 2, 2026

This was a great granola recipe I ate for breakfast and added to yogurt.
This recipe makes a lot, so I made a half batch which was about 8, 1/4 cup servings.

1 cup almonds
1 cup walnuts
1/2 cup pecans
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
2 Brazil nuts (chopped)
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp avocado oil
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp sea salt

Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the nuts, seeds, shredded coconut, melted coconut oil, avocado oil, sea salt, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the nuts and seeds are browned.
Remove from the oven and let cool.

In Baking Recipes, Dessert

THese are pretty good. They don’t come out quite as crispy as when fried, but are healthier and a good alternative.

1/2 cup gluten free flour
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1/4 cup buckwheat flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tbs maple syrup
1 egg
1/3 cup + 1 tbs apple cider, milk of choice or water
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 apple, peeled and diced
1/4 cup powdered sugar

Preheat air fryer to 400 for 5 minutes. Spray with cooking oil. I use avocado oil.
In a large bowl combine the maple syrup, egg, 1/3 apple cider, milk or water and vanilla extract.
Mix together the gluten free flour, buckwheat flour, flaxseed, cinnamon, nutmeg and baking soda and add to the egg mixture.
Fold in the apples. Drop by tablespoon onto the air fryer pan or basket.
Spray with cooking spray and air fry for 8 minutes or until golden brown.
Mix together the rest of the apple cider, milk or water and powdered sugar. Drizzle over the fritters.

In Baking Recipes, Cake

This was really good! This recipe is modified from the Apple Cider Donut Bundt Cake in Country Living, October 2022, pg. 85 to be gluten free and use less sugar. It was also cut in half for a smaller portion and apples added to it. To make the full batch, double all of the ingredients listed below.

6 tbs butter, melted
1 cup apple cider
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
1 1/2 cups gluten free all purpose flour
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
4 apples, peeled and diced

Cinnamon sugar:
1 tbs butter
2 tbs coconut sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350. Butter or spray a bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, mix butter, cider, applesauce, vanilla and egg. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon.
Add to the applesauce mixture.

Transfer batter to a prepared bundt pan. Bake for 35 45 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes and remove from pan.

For the topping, melt 1 tbs butter and brush it on the top of the bundt cake.
Combine the 2 tbs coconut sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon and sprinkle on the top of the bundt cake.
