My slightly addictive skin-loving breakfast…
Granted if you have a nut allergy I apologise in advance as this isn’t going to be a great recipe for you.
This granola is my go-to breakfast! Sure I love eggs & smoked salmon but this is the mainstay of my weekday breakfast & we make at least one batch a week.
My husband is constantly amused at how much I heap into my bowl followed by ‘Are we nearly out of that again?!’ So I only hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Oh & see my notes at the bottom as to why this is also amazing for skin health too!
U & your Skin loving Granola:
Makes a ruddy great batch! Store in a large Kilner (Mason) jar.
- 500 grams Rolled oats (the big ones)
- 500 grams buckwheat flakes
- 2 tbsp Coconut oil
- 50 grams Hazelnuts
- 100 grams walnut pieces
- 100 grams of almonds
- 30 grams sunflower seeds
- 30 grams of pumpkin seeds
- 30 grams chia seeds
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp Maple syrup
Melt the coconut oil in a large saucepan, then add all of the other ingredients to it & combine well.
Spread out onto a non-stick baking tray (I line mine with parchment paper for ease of removal afterwards) & then bake for 15 mins on 180 degrees. Gently stir halfway through & check the nuts aren’t burning.
Serve with your choice of Greek yoghurt, almond milk, rice milk, blueberries, strawberries &/or 1/2 banana.

This granola is firstly packed with protein which is essential for the repairing building blocks of the skin. Secondly, the nuts & seeds provide a good chunk of the essential facts of Omega 3 & 6 that your skin needs to stay hydrated & to replenish the delicate, protective lipid barrier. These fats also reduce inflammation in the body making it vital for anyone with inflammatory skin issues such as Acne, Psoriasis, Eczema & premature Ageing.
