Notes on ingredients for a healthy granola breakfast bowl
Gluten free Granola
The granola I used was a recipe of mine, and I have some variations, use what you fancy:
Gluten free spiced pecan and maple granola recipe here.
These granola recipes take less than 30 minutes to make. It's worth making your own. I've never tasted a store-bought granola that I liked; homemade granola is, in my opinion, the best, and you can customise the ingredients to your liking. If you're short on time, use your favourite brand of granola, but I must recommend that you make your own. Once you realise how quick it is, you will never buy store bought granola again!
Fruit
Of course, you can use whatever fruit you prefer for this easy granola breakfast bowl; however, the flavour combo that I have used in this recipe will literally take you to another dimension, and it’s worth tasting the different textures and flavours. It really will be a taste explosion. I opted for winter fruit: figs, pomegranates, oranges, plums, and blueberries.
Yoghurt
My dairy free yoghurt of choice is Coconut Collab. I also love cocos organic, or nush yoghurt too.

Tips on how to make the best granola breakfast bowls
Great variations for this vegan granola recipe:
Stewed apples or pears would be great to serve instead of the fruit in the recipe. I love to serve hot stewed fruit with cold yoghurt. It just tastes like a healthy fruit crumble and is so indulgent. Try my applesauce recipe here.
Chia jam would be awesome to serve with this granola breakfast bowl. Try my Plum, Fig Orange and Blueberry Jam, or my blackberry chia jam recipe instead.
Make yoghurt and granola pots: layer up in jars if you want a quick breakfast on the go. Granola breakfast pots are so handy. Just make them up in advance, and they will last in the fridge for three days. This is great for saving some time during a busy week.
You could also add toppings like, nut butters, bee pollen (not vegan), chia seeds, tahini. dark chocolate, dried fruit, coconut shavings or cacao nibs.
