Homemade granola has never been easier. This crunchy barley granola is made with just 7 ingredients and takes a whole of 35 minutes — start to finish! Oh yeah, and there’s chocolate in it, delicious organic dark chocolate! Oh yeah. YUuuum! How’s that for some tasty breakfast love. And best part is, it’s also healthy and protein-packed. You can thank almonds and buckwheat groats for that AND they also give it a fantastic crunch. Some seriously tasty crunch. Yay for crunchy barley granola! Plus, it\u2019s naturally sweetened with mascabado raw cane sugar and maple syrup… and it\u2019s vegan because I also use coconut oil.<\/p>\n

Barley is a locally produced super food<\/h2>\n

Did you know that the dietary fiber in barley is high in beta glucan? Okay, first what is beta glucan, right? It is a soluble fiber that activates the most important immune cells in our body which in turn stimulates the immune system, promotes digestion, has cholesterol and blood sugar lowering effects and reduces the risk of heart disease and cancer. No other food contains more beta-glucan<\/a> than barley, and the important thing is that the beta-glucans in barley are found throughout the entire kernel, whereas in most other grains, they\u2019re concentrated in the outer bran layer, meaning they can easily be lost in processing. Seriously good stuff, and worth incorporating into your diet. And if you haven’t already tried barley flakes in place of oats in your morning porridge, definitely give it a try (or go for a multi-grain version). So good!<\/p>\n
