Oats can either be your best friend or your worst enemy.
When faced with digestive issues, they can be poorly tolerated. When they work with your system they provide a good source of soluble fiber and the mineral molybdenum. Both of these are essential for proper detoxification.
With the onslaught of copper overload I’m seeing in clients, I’ve excluded nuts and seed from this recipe.
I love sprinkling a few tablespoons on an acai bowl or having some plain with a non-dairy milk for a homemade cereal fix.

A simple and quick 5 ingredient granola.
Ingredients
- 3 cups old fashioned organic oats (gmo and glyphosate free if you can find them)
- ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon maple syrup (use ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons for a less-sweet batch)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread granola over the parchment in one flat layer.
- First bake for 10 minutes before removing from the oven to evenly stir (this will prevent the granola on the edges from burning).
- Bake for another 10 minutes stirring once again and return to the oven for a last 5-10 minutes. Granola should turn a subtle light golden color but not burnt.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving
Notes
This is a sweet, but not overly sweet recipe. If you’re watching your sugar intake, feel free to reduce the maple syrup as suggested.
