“This recipe is also an entry into the #Swearbyit challenge with Vita Coco. You can also find more great coconut oil recipes and tips on using coconut oil at their website; Swear By It”.

So I am always on the lookout for new and healthier ingredients to bake with. I would love to make the perfect treat which is really good for you, tastes great and is low in calories. How perfect would that be!?

So today I have made a Cherry And Nut Granola Breakfast Recipe.

Cherry And Nut Granola Breakfast Recipe:

Cherry And Nut Granola Breakfast Recipe. This week thanks to HIB 100 I have been baking with some Vita Coco Coconut Oil; that they have kindly sent me.

I am a big fan of coconuts products. I love the smell of them. They also taste so yummy too. I like to eat it fresh, in and on top of cakes and also covered in chocolate. Sometimes healthy, sometimes not! 

This is my first time I have swapped butter as an ingredient for coconut oil to bake with, so I was little nervous to see how they would turn out!

Cherry And Nut Granola Breakfast Recipe:

First up I made some nutty cherry granola: Cooking time: Around 25 minutes until golden

You Will Need: 

A rectangle baking tray.

Cherry and Nut Granola Treat:

Ingredients:

  • 125g porridge oats 
  • 100g Vita Coco Coconut Oil
  • 2 Tablespoon golden syrup
  • 2 Tablespoon of honey
  • 75g Plain flour 
  • 1 Teaspoon vanilla extracts
  • 1 Teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 100g Walnuts, whole or chopped
  • 100g Glace cherries

Cherry And Nut Granola Breakfast Recipe Method:

Method:

  1. Weigh out all your ingredients. Preheat the oven to 180 C (350oF), Fan 170 C Gas Mark 4. Grease and line a rectangle cake tin with baking paper.
  2. If you are using whole walnuts, place them inside a plastic food bag and seal the end of the bag. Bash the bag with a end of a rolling pin until all crushed into small pieces.
  3. In a medium pan add the coconut oil, golden syrup, honey and gently melt over a medium heat. String all the time, until all the ingredients have all melted. Remove the saucepan off the heat. Add the vanilla extract. Stir well.
  4. Mix the porridge oats, plain flour, ground cinnamon, walnuts and glace cherries in a large bowl. Pour the melted mixture over a little at a time, string until all mixed in. Transfer to the greased tin, flatten down with the back of a fork.
  5. Bake in the center of a pre heated over for around 25 minutes. Once golden, remove from oven and mix around. Transfer to a large plate and leave to cool.

Granola is great on its own, with milk and tastes amazing with yogurt. I made a pan-fried banana in coconut oil to go with mine.

Have you ever tried frying banana? Oh wow, it tastes amazing! I cooked mine in some coconut oil and added some vanilla extract and cinnamon. As well as it tasting amazing it is healthy too!!

    HI Claire, All these recipes look great and filled with health. I am a real coconut oil lover and even if someone does like the taste of coconut using coconut oil has many health benefits and you do not taste it in recipes. I use organic coconut oil in most baking recipes instead of butter or salad oil and I always have loved the results. I make my own homemade yogurt from raw milk which I love too and use that in smoothie. Your recipes have given me some good ideas to use. I will copy and paste them and save them. Thanks for sharing on Real Food Fridays. Pinned & tweeted!
