What is khorasan wheat?!
Khorasan wheat is an ancient, nutrient-dense variety of wheat with larger, golden kernels and a rich, nutty flavor. It is higher in protein, fiber, and certain vitamins and minerals (like magnesium and zinc) than conventional wheat varieties and was grown in ancient civilizations, including Egypt.
Fun fact-King Tut’s tomb contained Khorasan wheat seeds, possibly meant for his journey into the afterlife.
If you are in need of a gluten free option, puffed brown rice would also work great in this recipe!

Ingredients
Khorasan Wheat Puffs- I like to buy the Nature’s Path Organic brand in bulk on amazon!
Honey-We like to buy local!
Avocado oil
Maple Syrup- we buy local when we can, otherwise this is also a great affordable option!
Vanilla-Be sure to get pure vanilla, this is a great option from Amazon, not imitation vanilla. Homemade Vanilla is even better!

Directions
- Preheat oven to 300′ F.
Combine all of your ingredients into a large mixing bowl and then spread on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. I get precut parchment sheets to make it an even faster process.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes at 300′ stirring every 5 minutes.
- Allow to cool completely before storing. Serve immediately or store for later use! I like to store in mason jars or reuse other large jars we have around. These mason jar lids are perfect for storage!
