We often have cravings for sweets and chocolates especially in the time leading up to our period. I have the perfect solution for you: Chocolate Tahini Granola is your perfect soul food for the luteal phase! Whether as a cereal or topping - granola just always goes :)
And the whole thing is gluten-free and without the addition of sugar or oil!
Good to know:
Cocoa is considered a very good source of magnesium, which prepares us perfectly for our period to prevent possible cramps. In addition, due to the serotonin-promoting effect of cocoa can increase our mood.
Sesame paste, or tahini, serves as a high-quality source of fat and also stimulates the release of progesterone, which is important before menstruation.
Ingredients: 50 g dates
120 g oat flakes
80 g buckwheat
30 g quinoa
2 tbsp cocoa
pinch of salt
2 tbsp sunflower seeds
2 tbsp tahini
1 tsp cinnamon
Preparation:
1. Pour hot water over the dates and let them soak for at least 5 min.
2. In the meantime, mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. 3. Mix the date-water mixture together with the tahini in a stand mixer and stir it into the dry mixture.
4. Put the mixture on a baking paper and bake your granola for about 35 minutes in a preheated oven at 130 degrees Celsius.
5. Let the mixture cool down before you store your granola in a glass jar.
