Grain Free Granola

May 22, 2015 By Hana 2 Comments

Grain Free Granola

I make this yummy Grain Free Granola for my husband. He doesn’t do very well with oats in the morning and this is a great and very tasty alternative. I use his favourite – walnuts mixed with cashews, seeds, coconut flakes and dates topped with coconut oil and maple syrup. You probably guess this tastes pretty good! Fantastic with some almond milk, yoghurt, coconut cream, topped with some fresh berries; delicious! Perfect for breakfast or snacking, you will definitely find plenty of occasions to eat some.

Grain Free Granola

This granola is very simple and easy to make, not much to go wrong except burning it:( so do keep an eye on the oven when making it, it doesn’t take very long to bake. You could change the walnuts and cashews with other nuts to your taste, whichever ones are your favourites. And once it’s ready take a moment for yourself and enjoy some peaceful moments. This one is not just for the men who like their walnuts!

    As well as the heavenly pea dip, I was also lucky enough to taste this granola yesterday which worked brilliantly well as a snack alongside a cup of tea! I can imagine this being perfect for breakfast too – the clusters of oats you often find in granola I find a little heavy, but this version made up mainly of toasted nuts and seeds is really light and delicious. I’ll try this myself too – highly recommended after trying yours Hana! Tx

Happy New Year beautiful! ✨ I’m feeling that Happy New Year beautiful! ✨

I’m feeling that this is the year we all need to ease into. Use this sacred pause we’re in until the 5th of January to really go within and listen deeply to what are you being called to birth this year. Forget creating goals from your ego. What are those whispers of your soul calling you to? Is it time to take the lead in your life? ✨

If this year is a continuation of 2020 we will need more conscious embodied leaders taking charge to create the change our planet needs. It’s us who create the future. ✨

Now that many of us are awake we need conscious women and men to walk together hand in hand! We’ve got this! 

✨🕊✨

Sending so much Love Hana xx

What dessert are you making this year? To be honest I’ve got my gingerbread cookies stored in fridge, the leftover chocolate cranberry orange cake in freezer so I’m quite sorted! But still pondering whether to make the gingerbread cheesecake. And just have written a new recipe for a lentil nut roast which I’m really looking forward to making on Christmas Day. 🎄
