Super Easy Homemade Granola with Macadamia and Coconut Oil

I thought I would try and sneak in one more easy homemade granola recipe before Mother’s Day. Β I love granola, like really love it (in case you can’t tell by the plethora of homemade granola recipes I have around here). So for me, some easy homemade granola with fresh fruit and creamy yoghurt is always my go-to breakfast. Plus, it’s something the husband and kids can totally organise for Mother’s Day all by themselves, which is always a win in my books πŸ™‚

Super Easy Homemade Granola with Macadamia and Coconut Oil

We have had a bit of a crazy time around here lately, which has made me super homesick for Australia. And when I get homesick, I crave macadamia and oats. This may seem like a weird combination, but just think of an amalgamationΒ of ANZAC biscuits (oat based cookie for the non-Aussies), and white chocolate and macadamia nut cookies. Both of which, to me, are quintessentially Australian.

Super Easy Homemade Granola with Macadamia and Coconut Oil

This easy homemade granola encompasses all of the delicious flavours going on in those cookies, but in a healthier breakfast cereal version. Β It only takes 10 minutes cooking time, which is unheard of in the world of granola. The result is some super crunchy clusters bursting with almond and macadamia nut goodness, which I just love.

Super Easy Homemade Granola with Macadamia and Coconut Oil

MyΒ favourite way to serve this granola up is to make it into a bit of a parfait. Β Just puree some pineapple in a blender and make a parfait with layers of pineapple puree, yoghurt, more pineapple puree, and a serving of granola as your top layer. Sprinkle a little bit of coconut on top and you are all set. If you are feeling super decadent, and Mother’s Day is coming up so that is totally allowed, you could even add some white choc chips to the granola mixture once it is completely cooled.

      Me neither! They are that wee bit more expensive, so I always tend to save them for extra special dishes – but they are so so good, I need to start using them more!
