Instructions

1

For the granola, following their packaging instructions, parboil each of the grains separately until almost cooked but grains are still separate and have some bite. Drain very well. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the quinoa, buckwheat, amaranth, millet, teff and spelt.

2

Preheat the oven to 120°C. Line a heavy oven tray with a silicone baking sheet/baking paper. Spread the grains over the lined tray. Bake until the remaining liquid in the grains has evaporated, 1 – 2 hours. Once the grains are fluffy and almost dry, remove from oven. Lower the oven temperature to 110°C. Transfer the grains to a very large mixing bowl and combine well with remaining granola ingredients.

3

Line the same oven tray with a fresh silicone baking sheet/baking paper. Spread the mixture over the lined tray and place in the oven until the granola is lightly toasted, about 2 hours. Reduce the heat to 60°C and leave in the oven overnight to dry out completely.

4

The next morning, allow the granola to cool completely, then place in an airtight container.

5

For the banana split, peel the bananas and halve lengthways. In a frying pan placed over medium heat, add the 2 tbsp coconut oil. Fry the banana halves until lightly golden.

6

To serve, place 2 banana halves in each bowl. Top with the coconut yoghurt/cultured coconut, blueberries and a few spoons of the granola. Garnish with the coconut flakes and vegan chocolate sauce, if desired, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
