This looks awesome. I agree that it is disappointing to find gross sugar-drenched granola recipes. I mean, its granola!! It's supposed to be healthy. Oh yum! This looks awesome.

I've definitely been reading more on fermented and soaked foods. Have increased my kefir consumption as a result. Hi Kristen, thanks for the link.

One change I'd make, though, is to soak the oats overnight in an acidic medium (water with whey or lemon juice added works well) before drying them. Of all grains, oats are the highest in phytic acid -- an anti nutrient that binds with minerals in our gut. Soaking the oats in an acidic medium breaks down that phytic acid and helps you properly absorb/digest your food. In most traditional oat eating cultures (where oats and dairy make up the VAST majority of their diet), oats are ALWAYS soaked overnight in yogurt or whey before cooking them. There've been quite a few studies done that prove that the neutralization of phytic acid through properly preparing grains (especially oats!) has positive effects on our body's mineral absorption.
