Coconut granola
Published
A crunchy coconut granola with oats, nuts, seeds and dried fruit.
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 60g Lucy Bee coconut oil, melted
- 100g gluten-free oats
- 50g chia seeds
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 50g pecan nuts
- 30g desiccated coconut
- 50g sultanas
- 50g big juicy raisins
- 40g hazelnuts
- 30g pumpkin seeds
Method
Preheat the oven to 140°C/275°F/gas mark 1. Line a baking tray with baking parchment.
Place all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, add the melted coconut oil and stir well using a wooden spoon, until coated in the oil. Tip onto the prepared tray, ensuring that the mixture is spread out evenly.
Bake in the oven for 50 minutes, stirring a couple of times to make sure it doesn’t stick and burn. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 10 minutes. If you want extra-crunchy granola, turn the oven off and leave the door open, with the granola still inside.
VARIATIONS For extra sweetness, add 1 tsp lucuma powder to the granola mixture. For a chocolate fix, add 30g cacao nibs.

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.
