Cocoa Nib & Pistachio Chunky Granola
This is my delicious and nutritious granola recipe. It’s chunky, crisp, packed full of flavour and lightly sweetened. I’ve used cocoa nibs, pistachios and flaked almonds in mine, but you can use whatever you fancy. The dates stay nice and chewy while the oats and nuts get lovely and toasted. This granola isn’t a very sweet recipe as that’s how I like it. I don’t want to be eating a tonne of sugar at breakfast, so I use a mixture of honey, butter and egg white to get it nice and crisp. It’s packed down as one even layer to bake which is then broken up once cooled to ensure it stays nice and chunky!
Autumnal Apple & Date Baked Oats
An autumnal twist on my favourite baked oats recipe. It’s got apple grated into the oats as well as chopped apple on top, which has a nice crunch to it. The oats are scented with warming spices and sweetened with mashed bananas and soft dates. They’re a perfect make ahead breakfast and my toddler loves them too! They stay nice and gooey in the middle. My preferred way to have them is warm with thick yoghurt.
Lightly Spiced Blueberry Bagels
Lightly spiced blueberry bagels with a slight chew and soft open crumb. Best served warm from the oven with cream cheese and a drizzle of maple syrup.
Twice-baked Pecan Frangipane & Chocolate Croissants
Twice baked pecan frangipane & chocolate croissants in bed on a lazy weekend morning. Warm flaky croissants soaked in a citrus syrup, gooey pecan frangipane and melty dark chocolate. Heaven!
Strawberry Pecan Frangipane Bostock
An easy but delicious way to elevate your breakfast table. Take thick buttery slices of brioche, soak them in a simple citrus syrup and spread on a generous layer of pecan frangipane. Top with ripe sliced strawberries, flaked almonds and pecans before baking until golden. They’ll be a little crisp on the edges but gorgeously soft in the middle. I finish mine with a pile of strawberries which have been mixed with sugar so they’re glossy and sweet. Best eaten warm from the oven.
Cherry Porridge with Brown Butter Seeded Crumb
This version of the perfect porridge includes a glossy sweet cherry compote and a brown butter seeded crumb. The buttery, toasted pecans and mixed seeds add a great little crunch to the dish along with a sprinkling of demerara. As a treat, I like to pour a little single cream around the edge. Pure breakfast perfection.
