Sounds like granola is in the air... I just received this from Anna of
Purely Delicious magazine.
Lately, I've been playing around with some new recipe ideas and many of them are just wonderful. Some have even made it to the spring issue of Purely Delicious, so you'll get to (hopefully) enjoy them very soon. In the meantime, here's one I've become pretty fond of lately. In fact, it's in the dehydrator as I type this. Smells yummy - wish you were here...
Apple Spice Granola
By Anna of

2 C packed dates, soft or soaked if they are hard and dry
1/2 C blue agave nectar
1/4 C water
2 T lemon juice
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
3/4 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. alcohol-free vanilla
Process above ingredients together in a food processor or blender until smooth. Pour out into a large bowl and stir in the following ingredients:
3 C buckwheat groats, soaked and sprouted
2 C raisins
2 C dried sweet apples, finely cubed or shredded
1 C pumpkin seeds, soaked
1 C sunflower seeds, soaked
1/4 C flax seeds, soaked in 1/2 C water for about 3 hours
Stir well to mix. Spread over 4-5 dehydrator trays onto Paraflex sheets. Allow to dehydrate at 115 degrees for 5 hours. Flip and gently peel off non-stick sheets. Continue dehydrating for an additional 8 hours or until completely dry. When it's ready, crumble it up and store in an air-tight container. I keep mine in the fridge - it stays really crunchy and will keep for weeks, if it lasts that long.
