This 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.
- 1 cup fresh pineapple
- 5 dates
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1 egg white
- ½ teaspoon of cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 1 cup raw macadamia nuts
- 1 cup raw cashew nuts
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
- ½ cup sunflower seeds
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- Preheat the oven to 120 degrees and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- In a food processor blend together the cut pineapple, dates, honey, egg white, salt and cinnamon. Blend until smooth.
- Add the remainder of the ingredients and pulse until combined but do not over blend, the mixture still needs to be chunky.
- Place out on the baking tray and cover the entire tray with a single layer of the mixture.
- Place in the oven for 50 minutes, stir once at around 25 minutes and then let bake for another 25 minutes.
- Store in an airtight container of jar.
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

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 🙂
Thanks a lot!
Looks delicious! I love the combination of pineapple and coconut in granola!
Hi Nora. It really does taste beautiful and the smell while it is baking is amazing! 🙂
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
Thanks. I love the granola anyways. We eat it every day. So good.
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. 🙂
