Honey Hemp Seed Granola Bark
Perfect for snacking and for all of your granola needs, a crunchy, protein-rich snack that I can't stop eating
For years I’ve been reading about what a miraculous food hemp seeds are — high in plant-based protein, rich in healthy fats, etc. — but for some reason that never compelled me to start eating them. I’ve just been a little put off by the flavor.
I’ve also been a little put off by how expensive they are. But lured by a much lower price, I once accidentally ordered a bag of shiny little unshelled hempseeds. That’s how I learned that hemp seeds are very small, and that the effort it takes to dislodge the moist, nutty little hearts is not insignificant.
Key takeaways: The labor is a big part of the expense, and they’re a bit of an acquired taste. But through the process of adding them to my smoothies, sprinkling them over my salads, and blending them into sauces and dressings, I’ve slowly come around.
Today’s recipe puts hemp hearts amply to use, in a very moorish granola bark, great for snacking out of hand, crumbling over yogurt, or eating however you like to eat your granola. You can find the recipe all the way at the bottom.
