    Curry Cashew Savory Granola + OATrageous Oatmeals Review & Giveaway!

    October 13, 2014 by keepinitkind 54 Comments

    Savory Curry Cashew Granola

    Oats and I go way back.

    Savory Curry Cashew Granola

    Our friendship probably began with some iced oatmeal cookies from a certain cookie company that shall remain nameless. From that point on, anything baked with Oats- I was all over it. When I got older, I finally figured out how to make oatmeal in a way that I liked (it took me 26 years to figure out that oatmeal was good if I put stuff like spices and fruit in it)(sometimes I'm a bit of a slow learner). Oatmeal became my breakfast of choice for the next 7 years. After I became vegan, Oats and I got super close when I discovered I could use them to make my own granola (see- slow learner).

    Savory Curry Cashew Granola

    When I learned that my good pal Oats was getting their own vegan cookbook, authored by none other than the amazing Kathy Hester, no one was happier for them than me. In OATrageous Oatmeals, Kathy proves that oats are for more than just cookies and oatmeal. From vegan sausage crumbles to creamer for your coffee, this book shows that Oats are an absolute superstar in the kitchen.

    OATrageous Oatmeals

    Lately, I've been a little desperate in the late afternoon snack category. I'll pack a great, satisfying lunch for work but come 4 or 5 pm, I need something to munch on to hold me over until I get home and can make dinner.  Because I didn't bring anything, I usually end up munching on some popped chips that the office kitchen has stocked but I always wish I'd brought something a little more nutritionally dense, if you know what I mean. As soon as I saw the Curry Cashew Savory Granola in OATrageous Oatmeals, I knew I'd found my new afternoon snack. Since I'm usually craving something savory and crunchy in the afternoon, this granola is absolutely perfect. I tripled the recipe so I would have enough to last the week. You can use it to top yogurt or just eat in on it's own by the handful. Sometimes, I'll bring a little extra so I can use it to top my salad at lunch. I think savory granola and I are going to be hanging out for quite awhile.

      While i make a big pot of pie spiced porridge every week, I *love* using oats in chocolate chip cookies. Makes them just a little chewier.

      My favorite way to use oats is probably in homemade granola bars. But there's no more comforting autumn breakfast than oatmeal with plenty of cinnamon and apples.

      I like to incorporate ground oats into all of my baked recipes, as a healthy alternative to white flour. The taste isn't as strong as some other whole grains, so it's a nice substitute for picky eaters.
