I have a million vegan and gluten-free cookbooks and of those one million cookbooks, they have 1000’s of hummus recipes. That must mean I’ve gone through about a billion hummus recipes and funny enough, after all this time, none have made me totally happy. So today I set out to make a crazy delicious and creamy gluten-free and vegan hummus recipe and one that can have some instant, flavourful variations made to it too. Served in sandwiches, with crackers or chopped veggies this is a versatile, healthy, high protein dip that no one tires of. We’re going to start with the 1st step and that is the tahini. I can’t stress enough that it is critical to use only RAW tahini, not roasted (sesame seed) tahini. Roasted tahini will change the flavour of the hummus completely and will also remove some of the health benefits of the tahini (sesame seed butter).…

A ¼ cup of sesame seeds (and also found in RAW tahini which is sesame seed butter) is rich in vital minerals such as: manganese (contains 44% daily value and helps to normalize blood sugar levels) magnesium (contains 32% daily value and is needed for bone health) calcium (contains 36% daily value and is helpful with migraines and osteoporosis) copper (contains 74% daily value and provides relief from Rheumatoid arthritis) iron (contains 29% daily value and is needed for oxygen delivery in our blood) zinc (contains 18.6% daily value and helps with hip fractures and bone mineral density). Feel free to sprinkle them daily on everything from quinoa, brown rice or even a salad. They instantly make your meal a little more dressed up.

This is now one of our best sellers at LettuceLove Cafe and Kelly’s Bake Shoppe. Every time I make it, it is sold out by 5pm that day. I think more and more people are realizing the benefits of eating raw food and allowing this food to keep it’s nutrition and enzymes intact. The Kelly’s Bake Shoppe is going to be making more of these types of products in the very near future and the good news is too is that it’s shippable!! What is so great about this granola is that it has so many purposes. It can be used as healthy energy snacks for your children’s lunch boxes, breakfast cereal and top it with almond milk and bananas, it travels well in car or in a plane, it’s perfect for hotel rooms when you can’t find good food to eat (bring your granola!!!), crumble it over your coconut…
