These granola squares are the perfect sweet treat to reach for when you hit that mid-afternoon slump. You know, the kind that usually has you running for the biscuit tin.

Makes about 30 squares

Ingredients

For the granola squares

  • 100g gluten-free oats
  • 60g Lucy Bee coconut oil, melted
  • 25g almonds, roughly chopped
  • 25g mixed seeds of your choice (sunflower, chia, pumpkin, etc.)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3 tbsp runny honey or agave nectar (optional)

For the chocolate sauce

  • 30g Lucy Bee coconut oil, melted
  • 30g raw cacao

Method

  1. Lightly grease and line a 34 x 20cm baking tray with baking parchment.

  2. Mix all the ingredients for the granola squares together until well combined, then spread out on the lined baking tray, ensuring there are no gaps.

  3. Mix the coconut oil and cacao together for the sauce, then drizzle on top of the granola.

  4. Chill in the fridge for 2 hours to set (or in the freezer for 1 hour if you’re feeling impatient) before cutting into squares. Store in the fridge or freezer, otherwise the granola squares will soften and melt.

Lucy & the family
A family story, rooted in gluten-free cooking

Lucy’s coeliac diagnosis changed the way the family cooked and ate. Reading labels, choosing ingredients carefully and preparing meals from scratch became second nature.

These recipes reflect our family’s love of natural, minimally processed ingredients and food to enjoy together, including recipes from our two coconut oil cookbooks.
