I hosted a lovely brunch get-together yesterday, with a simple, delicious menu that included freshly baked granola.
Wholesome, full of crunchy and sweet and salty flavors, it’s positively addictive.
Tips: I served the granola with greek yogurt, laced with fresh lemon curd and honey, but it is equally delicious with some almond milk and fresh berries.
Hope everyone is having a beautiful, brisk weekend!
Homemade granola
You’ll need:
- 3 cups old-fashioned oats
- 3 T sunflower seeds
- 3 T sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup dark maple syrup
- 1 T raw sugar
- 1/2 t fleur de sel
- 1/2 t nutmeg
- 1/2 cup salted almonds, roughly chopped
- 1/3 cup red walnuts, roughly chopped
1. Preheat oven to 325F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
2. In a bowl, combine all of the above ingredients.Spread evenly on the baking sheet.
3. Bake the granola, ‘raking’ it with a fork every 10-15 minutes, for about 40 minutes until golden-brown.
4. Let cool as the granola crisps up.
This definitely would have been a delicious addition 🙂

Thank you, Uru!
I make this every week, big roasting dishes of it and use honey to sweeten it but that maple syrup is definitely something I will try.. I love home made! c
You have your wonderful supplies of honey to use! Hope the bees are doing well, C! x
The bees have all died Ksenia, such a shame, a rotton winter for them, so this spring I am going to start all over again.. but soon it is maple syrup time so we are driving up to get some! c
Oh no, C! I remember your posting about troubles with the honey, but I thought that was temporary… I’m so sorry. Maple syrup, in the meantime, will be delicious. xx
we still have lots of honey, enough to make mead actually, but there is a maple place not far from here and I am fascinated by the process.. c
Love the idea of a beautiful homemade granola and delicious fresh lemon curd! Such a great combination of flavours, as always of course!
Thank you! Some of my breakfast morning favorites.
I often love lime curd and oatmeal cakes so when you mention it with the yogurt etc, I’m sold!
Mmm that sounds delightful!
This sounds absolutely delicious. Especially love the addition of the lemon curds. YUM!
Thank you! I adore lemon curd.
Very delicious looking granola!
Thanks! We ate it all haha
