I am grateful for Granola!
A staple in our pantry has become our “goodness gracious granola”. Our pantry is largely whole foods—like bottles of stuff—so to make granola is the perfect way to cycle through all these glorious bits and pieces.
Granola is a gigantic super-hero food! Munch it naked, sprinkle on fruit, top your pancakes, and the marriage with coconut yogurt and berries is epic.
To celebrate a great year I thought I would gracefully and gladly gift this glorious, godlike granola to the people we have worked with throughout the year. Generating a gift which gushes love is a truly gorgeous gesture…so I set about making the greatest grandest granola.
I sourced local amazing ingredients, as many organic as I could find.

To make it is pretty easy.
You mix all the dry ingredients together, except for the cacao nibs
(they go on the top once it has cooled).
Add a little coconut oil to bind it all together,
keep adding oil if you need to, however, go easy, as you don’t want it to get too moist.
Spread the mix out on a baking tray and bake in a moderate (180 degrees) over.
Don’t set and forget, check it, pull it out and stir it around a couple of times, until it starts to crisp up and go golden brown.
Store in an airtight container, though ours never lasts long enough to worry.
I packed my gifts into some recycled glass bottles I had.
I thought about calling it CROWnola but that was too weird!
“Goodness gracious!”, was a saying my nana used, and I love it.
Such a beautiful way of exclaiming, expressing your wonderment of the world.
In loving service
