Quinoa Granola
Inhaltsstoffe
- 1 Tasse Gekochte Quinoa - (Anmerkung 1)
- ½ Tasse Hafer
- ½ Teelöffel Zimt
- 3 Esslöffel Ahornsirup
- 1 Esslöffel Olivenöl mit mildem Geschmack
- ½ Teelöffel Vanilleextrakt
Add-ins – optional
- 2 Esslöffel Kürbiskerne
- 2 Esslöffel Mandeln - gehackt
- 2 Esslöffel Mini-Schokoladenstückchen
Anleitungen
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a large baking sheet, don't line it with parchment paper or it will trap moisture from the quinoa and won't roast/crisp as well.
- In a mixing bowl, stir quinoa, oats, and cinnamon until evenly combined.
- Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and oil. Stir to evenly coat all the ingredients.
- Pour the ingredients in a single layer all over the pan. If it overlaps, it takes longer to crisp, so the better you spread the batch, the faster it bakes. That's why I recommend a large baking sheet, even if your batch is small.
- Bake the granola for 12 minutes at 375°F (190°C), then stir and keep baking 8-11 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Watch out closely as it can burn quickly from that point.
- Cool down on the baking sheet at room temperature to let it crisp.
- When cooled, transfer to a glass jar, add any add-ins, close the jar, and shake to evenly combine.

Zutaten und Substitutionen
Für dieses Rezept benötigen Sie nur wenige einfache Zutaten. Hier erfahren Sie, wie Sie diese auswählen und austauschen können.

- Gekochte Quinoa – This forms the protein-rich base of the granola, providing a unique texture and a boost of nutrients. You can’t swap this ingredient unless you want to make another of my granola recipes.
- Hafer – These contribute to the classic granola texture and add more fiber to your breakfast. I use old-fashioned rolled oats, but this should work fine with jumbo oats as well.
- Zimt – This spice provides a warm, comforting flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients.
- Ahornsirup – This natural sweetener binds the granola together and adds a touch of sweetness. You can use any liquid sweetener you want, like agave syrup, date syrup, or coconut nectar.
- Leichtes Olivenöl – This helps crisp up the granola and ensures an even roast. Other low-flavor oils should work fine, as long as their smoke point is above the oven temperature.
- Vanilleextrakt – This enhances the overall flavor profile of the granola with its aromatic notes.
- Kürbiskerne – These are an optional addition that provides a nice crunch and earthy flavor.
- Mandeln – These optional chopped nuts add a nice crunch and healthy fats.
- Mini-Schokoladenstückchen – These optional add-ins create little pockets of melted chocolate for extra sweetness and flavor.
How to Make Quinoa Granola
This granola is super simple to whip up.

Pour the cooked quinoa in a bowl and add the other dry ingredients.

Stir the dry ingredients and add the liquid ones and stir to combine.

Pour the granola base on a baking sheet and spread it all around it.

Roast the mixture for 20 minutes at 375°F (190°C) while stirring about halfway.
Carines Tipps
Let me share a few more tips for a perfect quinoa granola.
- Rinse Quinoa Well – Make sure you thoroughly rinse your quinoa for at least 10 minutes before cooking. This removes saponins, which can give quinoa a bitter taste.
- Thin Layer is Key – When spreading the granola on the baking sheet, ensure it’s in a very thin, even layer. If the mixture overlaps too much, it traps moisture, and the quinoa won’t get as crispy.
- Stir for Evenness – After the initial 12 minutes of baking, be sure to stir the granola thoroughly. This helps it roast evenly and prevents burning on one side.
- Add Nuts Later – To prevent nuts and seeds from burning, add them to the granola after it has roasted and cooled. If you want to toast them, do it separately at a lower temperature (around 325°F/160°C) for about 10 minutes.
- Beobachten Sie genau – Granola can go from perfectly golden to burnt very quickly, especially in the last few minutes of baking. Keep a close eye on it after the first stir.
- Absolut cool – Let the granola cool down completely on the baking sheet at room temperature. This is crucial for it to become truly crisp.

Hi
I have Coeliac Disease and therefore can not have any Oats at all.
Can I substitute the oats with rolled Quinoa flakes instead?
Vielen Dank

Hallo,
I’m looking forward to trying this. You write “cooked quinoa” in the ingredients list, but then say to rinse it. Please clarify. Is it rinsed then cooked then roasted? Or just rinsed then roasted?
The recipe is correct you need cooked quinoa, cooled for the recipe. However, in the blog post I explain you how to cook the quinoa, including rinsing the raw quinoa before cooking to remove their saponins.
Loved it!
Can I use puffed quinoa in this recipe?
The instruction will be very different, you won’t need to roast at long, probably a different temperature too or the puffed quinoa will burn. I haven’t tried yet so I am unsure. Feel free to experiment.
