Coconut crunch, pineapple Granola
I’ve flavoured this with dried pineapple and coconut, but swap in whatever takes your fancy!
If it’s getting too dark too quickly, just turn down the heat, a longer cook time is fine, you just don’t it too dark, burnt around the edges.
Kids were happy with this for breakfast…oh, apart from the pineapple 😬
I smashed it with, milk, yogurt, berries and some herbs from the garden.

(Note, kelp your eye on the granola during the cook) some ovens have hot spots so you’ll have to turn your tray for an even cook.
