Soaked Oat Instructions:
Two days before – In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, warm water and whey or lemon juice. Stir gently to combine. Cover with a kitchen towel and set in a warm place for 24 – 36 hours.
In a fine mesh strainer, rinse well. Gently spread soaked oats evenly onto a dehydrator tray lined with a mesh insert. Dehydrate at 150˚ for 12 hours, until thoroughly dried. Remove and cool.
Once cool, granola may be made immediately, or oats may be stored in an airtight container for several days, ready & waiting for granola preparation.
Granola Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350˚. Locate a non-stick sheet pan or a regular sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Once nearly melted, add honey, cinnamon, stevia and sea salt. Whisk well to combine.
While butter is melting, crumble oats onto the prepared sheet pan.
No big chunks should remain. Add walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and coconut flakes.
Once honey-butter mixture is prepared, evenly pour mixture overtop of oat-nut mixture.
Using a spatula, stir until well combined; ensure every piece of dried oat gets a light coating of butter. Spread evenly before baking for 10 minutes. Remove and stir.
Spread evenly and bake for another 5 minutes. Remove and stir.
Spread evenly and bake for 5 additional minutes, for a combined total of 20 baking minutes.
Remove and immediately stir in currants until well combined.
Cool completely before storing in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Or transfer to the freezer for several months.
