I’ve been really enjoying healthy breakfasts lately – from porridge to granola to muesli! I stumbled on Madeleine Shaw’s granola recipe and thought I would adapt it and use whatever I had in my cupboards. The outcome was delicious! I will definitely be making this again for sure! It was too good to keep quiet about so I thought I would blog and share the recipe with you! I put lots of nutritious nuts, seeds and raw cacao in it to create a yummy and healthy way to start the day. I hope you enjoy it!
Method
Melt the coconut oil in a microwave or a small saucepan.
Roughly chop the nuts and mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl. You can use half jumbo oats and half porridge oats if you want a chunkier texture to your granola too! I recommend that!
Grease a baking tray and pat the mixture down on the tray with the back of a spoon. Bake in a preheated oven for 15 minutes at 180oC. Stir the mixture and then bake for a further 5 minutes.
Leave the granola to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. It makes enough for many breakfasts… depending on your portion size!
I love topping my yogurt with fruit and this homemade granola. I also love eating the granola with plant based milks such as almond milk. It is a great way to ward away those processed sugary supermarket cereals and it tastes a whole load better! You can add so many interesting ingredients into homemade granola too! Making it yourself is also less expensive and more satisfying than buying deluxe healthy cereals!
What is your favourite breakfast at the moment? Do you make your own granola and if so what are your favourite ingredients to add to it?
