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 and corn flakes would also work great in this recipe

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300’F
- Combine honey, maple syrup, oil, salt, chia seeds, walnuts and vanilla in mixing bowl.
- Add in the wheat puffs and stir to combine.
- Spread on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. (Easy clean up, who has time for more dishes?!) I get precut parchment sheets to make it an even faster process.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes stirring every 5 minutes. Remove from oven when it is golden brown.
- Allow to cool completely and then stir in the freeze dried strawberries and flakes. 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!
