Rye, Buckwheat & Blueberry Granola

25th August 2020 By Louise Leave a Comment

Rye, Buckwheat & Cardamom Granola

Rye, Buckwheat & Cardamom Granola

I’m a breakfast lover.  I think it could be my favourite meal of the day. Waking from a natural fast, hungry for a healthy start. Granola, yogurt or milk with a little fruit and coffee of course, a big cup is a first class breakfast for me.

I make granola frequently because, in my house it’s not only eaten at the first meal of the day, it’s a go to snack when my family are in need of something sweet but without any refined sugars.

I vary the combination of grains. Here, as you can see I have used rye and buckwheat flakes, available from health food shops and online sellers. I’ve added almond slivers and seeds with dried blueberries.  These earthy grains work so well with the addition of cardamom.  I’ve really cut back on the natural sugars here as the blueberries obviously have natural sweetness. With Nordic flavours, is deliciously different!

Rye, Buckwheat & Cardamom Granola 300g rye flakes 150g buckwheat flakes 75g sunflower seeds 75g pumpkin seeds 20g chia seeds 120g apple puree, made from dessert apples 60g honey a good pinch of fine sea salt 1 Tbls sunflower or coconut oil 1 scant tsp freshly ground cardamom 50g almond slivers 50g dried blueberries Preheat the oven 160Cfan. Begin by combining all the dry ingredients in a large bowl with exception of the almond slivers, add the sunflower or coconut oil. Pour the apple puree into the bowl with the honey and stir well with a large spatular to combine all the ingredients. Spread the unbaked granola onto a baking tray in a thin layer. Place in the oven and set a timer for 10 minutes. After the time has lapsed give the granola a good stir on the tray, you’ll find the edges will colour first. Set the timer for another 10 minutes and repeat three more times or until the grains are golden and toasted. (In the final 10 minutes add the almond slivers, if you add them at the beginning they become too dark) The granola won’t be crunchy while it’s warm, it’ll crispen as it cools. Store in an airtight container for up to a month.

Thank you @pattandpott for the beautiful bowl 🤍

This bake is everything a carrot cake wants to be! It’s moist, not too sweet, lightly spiced and a great way to eat one of your five-a-day.

Potato Dauphiniose you say? No I have to correct y Potato Dauphiniose you say? No I have to correct you, this has to be one of the best examples of Swedish home cooking (husmanskost). This, for me, is nostalgia on a plate; Laxpudding or Salmon Pudding is a meal that’s a wonderful way of using up leftovers, however that doesn’t mean it needs to be consigned to the status of a mere mid-week supper.

You can find the classic, quite lengthy version of this in my blog archive, this is a far simpler, quicker version. I have combined potatoes with celeriac, fresh and smoked salmon with golden sautéed onions and dill of course. With the addition of milk & eggs to set the pudding. It really doesn’t take much time to put together with delicious and comforting results. It’s  fabulous the next day too.

I’ll pop this version on the blog tomorrow. If you head over to my profile and click on the link and sign up to my e-newsletter, I’ll send the recipe directly to you.
