Cinnamon + Pecan Granola

There's a particular kind of morning that calls for Spoon Cinnamon + Pecan Granola 400g: half awake, coat by the door, and only time for a bowl before you're out. This small-batch blend keeps its ingredient list short, just eight items, with toasted pecans, coconut chips and a warm dusting of cinnamon in every spoonful. It's the sort of granola that makes rushing out the door feel a little less rushed.

Why You'll Love It

Gluten-free wholegrain oats are baked slowly with coconut chips, date syrup and maple syrup until properly crisp, then finished with pecan nuts and a trace of natural vanilla flavouring. The result is spiced without being sharp, sweet without tipping into sugary, and crunchy enough to hold its own against milk or yoghurt for a good while. Buttery pecans and light, toasted coconut do most of the work, with the cinnamon (just 0.3% of the mix) running through as a background note rather than the main event. Everything in it is plant-based, for what that's worth to you.

How to Use It

Cold milk or a plant-based alternative is the simplest way in, letting the pecans and coconut chips keep their crunch right to the bottom of the bowl. For something more like a proper breakfast, layer it through thick yoghurt with fresh fruit, or scatter it over baked fruit for a bit of texture against the softness. It also stirs well into porridge if you want extra bite partway through cooking. If you like things sweeter, a little extra maple syrup drawn through the bowl will bring the cinnamon and pecan flavours further forward.

About Spoon

Spoon bakes its granola in small batches from short, straightforward ingredient lists, favouring a handful of good things over long ones padded out with fillers. The idea is fresher granola with less waste, made in a way that doesn't need embellishing to taste good. This Cinnamon + Pecan blend, built from eight ingredients and not much else, is a fair example of that approach in a bowl.
