Pink Skies, Knitwear and Granola for Fall
Woah there..Friday?!
This week has just been weird. I’ve basically spent the whole week in bed because I got really quite unwell. It was quite scary but today I finally feel like I’m back on planet Earth and right now I’m looking at the gorgeous evening pink sky.
Just another reason why I love this time of year so much…
And now that it is officially Autumn (Fall for you US readers!), I decided to go back to my love of knitwear 
Whilst I still haven’t been that inspired to bake despite the cooler temperatures, I did decide to put my oven on and make some granola for a change! I was inspired by Love Grown’s Granola as I recently purchased some and remembered that a while ago I had the chance to try a different of their flavors, a cinnamon raisin one which had almonds and coconut in too and it was just yum!
Cinnamon Raisin Almond Granola (GF option)
Ingredients
- 4 cups oats (or gluten free oats)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened coconut chips
- 1 cup almonds
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/3 cup agave nectar
- 1 cup dried raisins (leave out until the end)
Mix all together well and bake in the oven at 180 Degrees Celcius for around half hour, stiring occasionally so it toasts evenly.
Then add 1 cup dried raisins.
This is pretty much amazing given that it has my fave flavors in there!!
What’s your favorite type of granola?
What are you looking forward to in the cooler months?
Granola is so great. I made my first one a few weeks ago and loved to add a lot of dried fruit – especially cherries!
And your pullover is great – I love the pattern. Have to get some autumn-wear for myself.
I love granola. I need to buy things to make treats with. Just cause I’m at uni doesn’t mean I can’t bake.
This granola sounds amazing!
That granola looks amazing- all those flavours sound wonderful together.
I am looking forward to the bright sunny days when I can go on walks, when the leaves turn, wearing boots and snuggly jumpers
I remember the first time I made granola, I put the raisins in too early and they came out AWFUL! haha oops! I’ve since learned
your recipe looks amazing!
Oh no, I hope you’re ok darling xxx
I hope you’re feeling okay, love
I saw your tweets the other day and got kind of worried but I didn’t want to pry. Lots of hugs for you xoxo
Hope you’re feeling better! Sometimes a day in bed and Autumn-ish granola is all you need (maybe not all you need but it certainly helps
).
How are you feeling now lovely?
I’m a granola FIEND. It’s dangerous to have it around!

I love making my own granola, yours looks fab!
