a vegan meal planning company based in New York City. These lovely ladies joined us as guest chefs for Shindig. They whipped up this version of a delicious and healthy granola that can be eaten as a snack,

1 cup of oats

½ cup raw cashews, chopped

½ cup raw pepitas

10 medjool dates, pitted, chopped up in big chunks (chopped up dried apricots or raisins are delicious too!)

1 tbsp of maple syrup

1 tsp of cocoa powder

1 pinch of cardamom

1 pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 400°F. In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and then add cocoa powder and mix in maple syrup. Stir well. Take out a baking sheet, cover with parchment paper and pour granola mix on top. Bake in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Careful not to burn it (can happen easily due to the maple syrup). Take out, cool off, and enjoy.
