Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Whisk together chia seeds, soy milk, and lemon juice. Set aside to thicken.
- Make granola streusel.
- Cream together the coconut oil and sugar. Add the thickened chia seed mixture and mix on high for 2 minutes.
- Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Add water to wet ingredients. Sift in the dry ingredients and mix on high for 30 seconds. Fold in the lemon zest.
- Line a non-stick loaf pan with parchment paper. Empty batter into loaf pan, top with streusel mixture and bake for 30-40 minutes (until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and streusel is golden brown).
- Pulse granola in a food processor until the texture has evened out slightly (no large chunks of granola).
- Cream together the sugar and coconut oil. Mix in the water. Add granola, flour, and salt. Mix with your hands, making sure to encourage random sized bits of streusel.
