Germknödel Granola (Vanilla Poppyseed Granola with Dried Prunes)



(gluten free, vegan, soy free, refined sugar free, oil free)


Growing up, Germknödel was one of my favorite meals ever! In case you have no idea what I'm talking about, Germknödel is a typical Austrian dish, made of a sweet yeast dumpling with a sweet prune-jam filling, served with either melted butter or vanilla sauce and a looooot of poppy seeds and sugar on top!

It's absolutely amazing and warming during winter time, and even better when eaten on an ice cold day during a quick break from skiing.

This Granola recipe is inspired by all the flavors of a typical Germknödel, so if you don't know what I'm talking about, you'll know when you try it!

Germknödel Granola

  • 60g agave nectar (or coconut syrup)
  • 60g tahini (or almond butter/cashew butter)
  • vanilla essence or vanilla bean paste/powder to taste (adjust before baking, you should really be able to taste the vanilla here - if you don't have access to vanilla like that, you can also add a pack of vanilla sugar but keep it mind, it's not refined sugar free anymore if you do so)
  • 10 to 20g poppy seeds, depending on how strong you want it to taste like poppy seeds (make sure to not use poppy seed filling!) 
  • 40g to 60g dried prunes, chopped (add as much as you wish)

  • bake for another 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown (make sure the dried prunes don't burn)

  • enjoy!
