Real Simple Granola – Paleo, AIP, Low FODMAP

April 19, 2017 By Angie 4 Comments

A real simple granola recipe that's Paleo, AIP and Low FODMAP. Made with coconut, a little maple syrup and squashed fruit, it's perfect for a lazy brunch.

Granola has become quite posh, when often all you want is something basic. Just a sprinkle of flakes and crunchy clusters, without the botanical list of fruits, nuts and seeds. A down to earth granola that’s effortless to make, that won’t break the bank, and won’t complicate digestion. A real simple granola made with coconut, a little maple syrup, and squashed fruit. Sounds good? Is good. Go set your oven to slow.

Who’s Afraid of Paleo Granola?

Just want the recipe? Scroll down.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for exotic Paleo Granola’s, but I have to admit that they’re not always all for me. We received a lovely bag last Christmas, and it was such a treat because we can’t find Paleo products here. It was wonderful, filled with four kinds of seeds, pecans, almonds, and naturally sweetened with honey.

We’re not gluttons, we didn’t go stupid with it or anything, but oh man, it blew me up like a balloon and dried me out. I’m not sure what it was exactly, because I checked the ingredients, and the all seemed fine. I’m suspecting that, in fact, it wasn’t any one ingredient, but rather the combination of them all-in-together. Now that I think about it, and to be perfectly honest, it could also have been the timing.  What with Christmas, family and traveling, there’s a good likelihood that other members of the FODMAP set were politely sipping aperitivo’s in my intestines, and the Paleo Granola simply pushed them into party mode. In any case, when it came to experimenting with homemade granola, and after more recent FODMAP flares, I decided to pare it right down.

Real Simple Granola – Paleo, AIP, Low FODMAP, Cheap and Easy

I researched around and came to the conclusion that making Granola is easy. All you need is something flaky, something floury, a sweet, sticky paste, and a little oil.  Hence, the common use of oats (flaky), ground nuts (floury), honey (sticky), soaked raisins or applesauce (paste). Turning that into an AIP, FODMAP friendly version was simple.

With apologies to those who can’t do coconut, this granola is dependent on it. Toasted coconut chips are what make the crunch, whilst the finely shredded flakes stick together here and there, forming those delectable little clusters. For the sweet paste just mash up a banana, add cinnamon, a little maple syrup, and a couple of tablespoons of melted coconut oil. Mix it all up, spread it out, and bake it slowly for a long time.

It’s hard to give precise baking times. It’ll depend on your oven. My trick is this. Bake it at 150°C/300°F for half an hour, then turn the oven down to 100°C/250°F for another 45 minutes. Keep an eye on it! You want your granola to be golden, not brown – if your oven runs hot, just decrease the temperature a little. When the timer sounds, turn the oven off, but leave the granola in until it cools completely. It’ll seem soft, but don’t worry about it. It crunches up as it cools. If, when cool, it’s not crisp to your liking, then just rebake for another 30 minutes at 100°C/250°F.

That’s it, couldn’t be easier! A real simple granola that’s crunchy, moreish, and perfect to sprinkle on fruit served with tapioca cream on those days when you can’t face more vegetables for breakfast.


Breakfast or Brunch?

Mini Meatloaf Muffins with Baked-In Chutney – Start with something savoury. Make these ahead, and just reheat them before serving.

Banana and Carrot N’Oatmeal with Strawberries and Cream – Granola, to me, reads Springtime. N’Oatmeal’s for the cooler months.

Angie’s Famous All Day Biscotti – These are great for really lazy breakfasts, when you’ve lain in late, and all you really need is a little something to dip in your coffee.

Paleomantic: Angie - Paleomantic
Recipe type: Breakfast
This fits: Paleo, AIP, Low FODMAP
Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • 2½ cups coconut chips
  • 1½ cups shredded coconut
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 small banana
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 150°C/300°F
  2. Place the coconut chips and shredded coconut into a large bowl and mix lightly.
  3. In a small saucepan over a low heat, melt the coconut oil and maple syrup.
  4. Mash the banana with a fork. Add the coconut oil and maple syrup along with the cinnamon. You should have half a cup of sweet, sticky paste.
  5. Using 2 spoons, miix thoroughly so that all the coconut is coated.
  6. Spread the coconut evenly onto the base of a non-stick slice tin (or line the base of a tin with parchment paper), and give it a shake to settle.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes, then give it a toss. Turn the oven down to 100°C/250°F and bake for another 45 minutes. Keep and eye on it, and turn the temperature down if it looks like it's turning too brown. When the timer sounds, turn the oven off and let the granola cool completely. Don't worry if it still seems a bit soft. It firms up and becomes crunchy as it cools.
  8. When cold, if it isn't as crisp as you'd like it to be, simply bake for another 30 minutes at 100°C/250°F.
  9. Store in an airtight container.

    Just made it OMG DELICIOUS!! How long can you store it in the cupboard? Thinking of having it as a rescue breakfast if I happen to forget to make something.

      Hi Tamara, Oh, great, so glad you loved it! Haha, I always find the ‘how long can you store it’ questions a little funny. I have no idea simply because it all gets eaten within a week in our house! I think in a jar or airtight tin it’ll last a good two to three weeks, especially if it’s dried out well. Enjoy! A

THE MOST AMAZING THING about health is that you ge THE MOST AMAZING THING about health is that you get to choose. Even if you have a familial predisposition to something. Even if you’ve already been diagnosed with something. Even if you’ve hit rock bottom and are despairing.

You get to choose. I’m not saying that you can miraculously heal issues which are deeply rooted. What I’m saying is that, no matter where you’re starting from, you can decide to reach your health potential.

That potential is different for everyone. For some it means winning gold at the Olympics. For others it means managing autoimmune disease, cancer or depression with a minimum of pharmaceuticals and medical interventions.

I was heading towards an autoimmune disease & I turned the situation around.

What I learnt is this: Health is Easy. You just need the right information & the right support. That’s what I offer.

Sweet, whatever else is going on in your world doe Sweet, whatever else is going on in your world doesn’t matter. What your body needs is Nutrient Dense Food.

Getting nutrient food into your mouth isn’t difficult. It’s not time consuming. It’s not going to blow your budget. It’s not going to destroy the planet.

It’s going to make you well.

The right food will
👏regulate your metabolism, stabilise your energy and relieve your hunger.
👏It will calm your mind, your anxiety, your depression.
👏It will heal your gut and thus your immune system.
👏It will allow so much of your suffering to dissipate, dissolve and disappear.

Nutrient dense food is:
🦴🍗🍤🥚Quality protein sourced from animals because that’s the only way you’re going to get those synergistic combinations of all essential amino acids plus stuff like Vit.B12 & collagen which are only found in animal products
🥑🥚🥥 Healthy fats, and apart from avocados, coconut, olives & a few nuts & seeds, again we’re talking animal products: eggs, fatty fish, sat fat from animals.

80% of what you look like and how you feel depends 80% of what you look like and how you feel depends on what you put into your mouth. 80%! The other 20% is divided between how you’re moving, how you’re sleeping, how you’re connecting (with others, yourself, nature & the world) and how you’re thinking, your mindset.

The importance of that 80% cannot be overemphasised.

Things we commonly put into our mouth:
🔸 damage our gut
🔸 wreck havoc with our hormones
🔸 mess with our head
🔸 disrupt our metabolism
🔸 send our immune system into overdrive
🔸 send our stress levels skyrocketing

Changing dietary habits is crucial if you want to get your weight, your inflammation and pain, & your stress levels under control.

Essentially, it’s not hard. Pragmatically, it’s hard to change habits.

Helping you to change habits for health is my job, and I love what I do. ❤️
