Welcome to IPINKIT!
Your fave YouTube channel for allergy friendly vegan recipes… I hope haha and if you are just discovering it, WELCOME and I hope it quickly becomes your favorite. I LOVE sharing with you easy recipes that can be customizable no matter the allergens you have, this is one where I’m giving you the base to make nut free vegan protein bars or if you prefer turn this into a homemade nut free vegan granola mix.
I spent over 20 years of my life thinking that because of my nut and peanut allergies I could never try granola, that changed during a trip with one of my friends who happens to be obsessed with granola. I told her I wish I could try it and she suggested to make my own nut free granola recipe, I was impressed when I found out granola was made with oats!! She took her sweet time to explain me how she baked hers at home and with a bit of variation, this recipe I’m sharing today captures the breakfast and vegan snack I unlocked during a trip to Prague.
Every time I bake granola I think of my friend and throughout the years, I’ve gotten better at changing the flavor, but the essence remains the same. This recipe is now yours, please play with it and tell me what you changed or which flavor you gave it. Use all those ingredients you have at home, don’t be afraid to try adding in more ingredients or taking away some, this is for you to enjoy a safe snack or a breakfast on the go when baked in advance!
