Coconut granola with baked apricots

Breakfast

Our coconut granola is delicious on its own but it’s also fantastic with these citrus baked apricots.

You can make this coconut granola recipe with baked apricots in three simple steps, plus you’ll have plenty of leftovers. The great thing with granola is that it’s easily adapted depending on what you’ve got in the cupboard.

This recipe makes enough fruit and granola to serve four generously with leftover granola too. Store in an airtight container at the granola will be fine for a week or so, although we're certain you'll eat it before then.

You can serve this as a delicious light dessert but at only 170 calories per portion it would be a lovely decadent brunch too.

Try the recipe with peaches, nectarines and plums too.
