Okara Granola

Okara Granola


This is my favorite way to use up the okara left over from making soy milk. I have not included a cost for the okara since the cost was already accounted for in the making of the soy milk.

1 cup okara

¼ cup oil                     

2 cups oats

1/4 c dark Karo syrup

2 Tb. Brown sugar

Add all ingredients in a large bowl a stir to mix well. Place ingredients on a couple of cookie sheets, spreading out so it is evenly distributed in a thin layer. Place in a low oven (about 250°F) and toast until golden brown, stirring occasionally. The edges will brown first, so push them into the middle and push the granola in the middle towards the edges. Take care not to let it burn. When done, remove from oven and let cool thoroughly on the trays. I let it sit out overnight so that it's thoroughly dried out before storing in a jar.

I have not calculated the cost per serving but it's not much. This recipe makes approximately 10 40 gram servings. Serve in a bowl with 1/2 cup soy milk. 

Note: I often will add a teaspoon of vanilla or maple flavoring.
