Summary

Nut Milk Pulp Granola is plenty crunchy, naturally sweet, and spiced with fragrant cinnamon that creates an enticingly nutty aroma (and flavor) while it bakes in the oven. This no-waste recipe is a tasty and nutritious way to use up leftover pulp from homemade almond or other nut milks. And not only is it no-waste, but there are lots of ways to customize it (check the Chef’s Notes!).

Yields2 ServingsPrep Time15 minsCook Time15 minsTotal Time30 mins

Ingredients

 ¾ cup nut pulp (from 1 cup of raw nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, pecans, etc.), approximately ¾ cup pulp)
 ¼ cup raw almonds (roughly chopped)
 ¼ cup raw pecans (roughly chopped)
 ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
 3 tbsp maple syrup (or date paste, link in Chef’s Notes)
 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
 1 tsp vanilla extract
 2 dashes salt (optional) , +1 dash as needed

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Add nut pulp, nuts, and pumpkin seeds to a medium-sized bowl. Mix to combine.

3

Mix the maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.

4

Transfer the maple syrup mixture to the nuts and pulp. Mix to combine.

5

Transfer the mixture to the parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading out evenly.

6

Sprinkle with salt, if desired.

Bake for 25–30 minutes, tossing halfway through. It will continue to harden as it cools, so be careful not to overcook.

Chef's Notes

Substitutions
Substitute nut pulp with your favorite combination of seeds to make seed milk, such as pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and hemp seeds to create a nutty seed pulp.

Substitute raw almonds with hazelnuts, cashews, or macadamia nuts.

Substitute raw pecans with pistachios, walnuts, brazil nuts, or peanuts.

Substitute ground cinnamon with apple pie spice or pumpkin pie spice for more variety.

Nut-Free
Swap out the almonds and pecans with more pumpkin seeds or create a seed mix using sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, and chia seeds.

Whole Food Sweetener
Use date paste in place of maple syrup. If you choose date paste, you may need 1–2 tablespoons more to reach the desired consistency and sweetness.

Storage
Once fully cool, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 10 days or refrigerate for up to one month. Note, if you use date paste as the sweetener, only store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
