Pineapple & Coconut Granola

13/07/2014 By Caralee 14 Comments

Pineapple & Coconut GranolaThis is such a yummy breakfast and a really nice change from eggs in the morning. You could have this granola with coconut yoghurt or fruit for breakfast, it is a great addition to parfait’s or it is a fabulous snack to take with you in your bag in case you get the nibbles. In a couple of weeks I am going on a holiday to the USA, so I intend on packing some of this for my long flight, rather than facing the processed food options on the plane.

I am really excited to be going to California and driving up the coast road. I am mostly looking forward to seeing the wild life along the way and trying some amazing new food.

This granola only takes a couple of minutes to whip together but about 50 minutes in the oven on a low heat. It will store in a sealed jar for quite a few weeks, so it is a great thing to make on the weekend for the weeks ahead.

    This looks fabulous and thank you for posting such great recipes. I am craving something different for breakfast so want to try this.

    Can you tell me what “peptides” are as an ingredient? Not a term I have seen in this context.

    Thanks again

    Cheryl

      Hi Cheryl. Thanks for stopping by. That was one of my creative spelling errors! I meant pumpkin seeds, which I have now corrected! This is a great breakfast and a really nice change. I hope you enjoy it 🙂

    What would be the best thing to add or way to turn these into granola bars?

      Hi Pam. Thanks for stopping by. I have never made granola bars but I have had a few people ask, so I will have to look into it. Sorry I don’t have a quick answer for you on this one :)xx

    Hi. I’ve been looking for a granola recipe and will def be making this! Just a question… Do you ever have it with milk? Do you drink normal cows milk (skim)?

      Hi Courtney. I just have it as a snack by itself or with coconut yogurt. I don’t have milk except for on occasion I will make a batch of almond milk. 🙂

    hi Caralee, thanks for your recipe. It looks so yummy! Does it work if I add some old-fashioned oats to it?

    […] granola came about because I was asked what other fruit could be used instead of pineapple in the Pineapple and Coconut Granola. I had half a mango in the fridge that needed to be used and this was the perfect idea for it. This […]
