This is my happy dance granola. Nuts, cranberries and oats taken to a whole new level with the addition of mini coconut macaroons. I love this stuff so much that when Chris and I went away to a fancy hotel this weekend, I was pining for my granola rather than the delicious breakfast selection on offer. As sad as it sounds, I even tried to put together a makeshift version at the buffet bar - using the hotel granola plus nuts, fruit, yogurt and honey. It just wasn’t the same though. It’s the coconut macaroons you see. They’re addictive. Chris was running late for work on Friday, so he took my granola out of the cupboard and fished out as many macaroon pieces as he could find, and ate those for his breakfast whilst putting his shoes on! In case you’re wondering, then yes, he did get a slightly snotty message from me later when I made the discovery (I really shouldn’t be so possessive about cereal). Gracey went on a school trip earlier last week, and I made her up a bag of the mini macaroons with raisins as a snack. Unpacking her suitcase when she came home, I found the bag of raisins - with every macaroon piece gone.
This kind of single-minded macaroon addiction should probably have me more worried….. I have got to admit that this breakfast isn’t as healthy as my refined-and-liquid-sugar-free granola. But I’m willing to bet it’s still lower in sugar than a lot of store bought varieties. And even though I couldn’t resist this pouring shot of some honey being drizzled on, this breakfast doesn’t actually need the honey. I’ve just had an extra large bowl (to make up for not having it at the weekend…) of this granola with some natural Greek yogurt and berries, and it was perfectly perfect.
