Winter Granola Breakfast Bowl ( Vegan, Gluten-Free)
GLUTEN FREE II DAIRY FREE II VEGAN II SOY FREE II SESAME FREE II NIGHTSHADE FREE II SHELLFISH FREE II FISH FREE
This gluten-free granola breakfast bowl is made using a stunning spiced pecan and maple granola recipe. It's perfect for colder winter days, and it’s lightly spiced with ginger, cloves, and cinnamon.
I wanted to show you how I would serve the spiced granola using seasonal fruit. I created a really healthy granola breakfast bowl. This bowl has some beautiful flavour harmonies and textures.
The tanginess of the pomegranate, with the citrusy taste of the orange and the spices from the granola are truly a match made in heaven.
Every mouthful of this granola breakfast bowl is a delight; it’s super healthy and quick to put together.
Notes on ingredients for a spiced gluten-free granola breakfast bowl
Gluten-free Granola
You can find my gluten-free spiced pecan and maple granola recipe here. If you would like to use my other recipe for gluten-free nutty vanilla and buckwheat granola. Both these 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 just the best in my opinion and you can customise the ingredients to your liking.
Fruit
Of course, you can use whatever fruit you prefer; 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 yoghurt of choice is Coconut Collab. It doesn’t have as many questionable ingredients and is really tasty. I also love cocos organic, or nush yoghurt too.
Ingredients
Tips
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. I peel and slice my apples or pears, sprinkle over some ginger and cinnamon, add a few tablespoons of coconut oil, cover, and bake in the oven for 10 minutes until soft.
Chia jam would be great to serve with this granola breakfast bowl, try my Plum, Fig Orange and Blueberry Jam, or my blackberry chia jam recipe instead.
This would be a great recipe to layer up in jars if you want a quick breakfast on the go. Granola breakfast jars 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.
