DVD!From the Book, Eat Fat, Lose Fat
Mary Enig and Sally Fallon were given this recipe by a Weston A. Price chapter leader, Sonja Kepford. Unlike a typical granola recipe where oats were used in the recipe straight from the package, these oats are soaked in a yogurt and coconut oil/butter mixture for two days to ferment the oats to make them more digestible. The resulting granola has a nice yogurty tang.
Granola is high in calories, so it is not good for weight loss. Keith and I have small helpings (3-4 teaspoons) each morning with raw milk or yogurt, prior to going to the fitness club.

Remember, according to science writer Gary Taubes, it is not calories that put on weight; it is carbohyrates. Sugar , or starch that becomes sugar, such as in oats, causes a release of insulin. It is insulin that drives fat into cells. When I make granola with a similar recipe, I substitute palm sugar, stirred into the melted coconut butter, for a sweetener. According to nutritionist Alana Sugar, it will not cause our bodies to release insulin nearly as much. You can purchase this sweetener at health food stores. Janice Curtin
thanks Kimberly, I have lost my copy of Eat Fat, Lose Fat (wahh… ordering another one now) and really wanted to make this for my daughter. She is not an egg lover so this is the perfect breakfast for her…
