Masala Chai Granola made with Aquafaba

Servings 5 cups

Ingredients
  

  • cup aquafaba
  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup mixed nuts *pictured with almonds, pecans, and pistachios
  • ¼ cup coconut flakes
  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
  • ½ tsp black peppercorns
  • 5-6 cardamom pods
  • 1 tsp cloves
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325 F.
  • Whip aquafaba in a bowl with a hand mixer for 3-5 minutes, or until it is white, fluffy, and thick. If you don't know how to do this, I linked a how-to above.
  • Add oats, nuts, coconut, and pumpkin seeds to a mixing bowl. Grind whole spices with a mortar and pestle. Add the ground whole spices and the ground ginger and cinnamon to the mixing bowl.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients to the mixing bowl: coconut sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, aquafaba, and sea salt. Mix it all together and spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 35 minutes, checking once at half way to flip the granola. Once it's out of the oven, let it cool to get those beautiful clusters!
