Instructions

Coconut Chia Pudding:

  • Mix all the ingredients for the coconut chia pudding.
  • Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes to warm slightly.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Strawberry Purée:

  • Place the strawberries and sugar in a heavy-based saucepan.
  • Cook over a gentle heat for 5 to 7 minutes, lowering the heat if the sugar and berries seem to be sticking.
  • The sugar should dissolve, the juices should be released, and the fruit should begin to break down.
  • Cool and blend in a food processor.
  • Strain with a sieve, pressing down with the back of a spoon to extract all the juice.
  • Cover and refrigerate.

Granola:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • Place the oats, nuts, seeds, and coconut flakes in a bowl.
  • Heat the coconut oil, honey, maple syrup, and vanilla extract gently in a small pan until combined.
  • Pour the liquid over the dry ingredients and stir to coat.
  • Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet and level it.
  • Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes until it turns golden brown.
  • Keep an eye on the granola and stir it to prevent excessive browning around the edges.
  • Once it's cool, stir in the dried fruit.
  • This granola will keep for up to 3 weeks in an airtight container.

Assembly:

  • Serve all three components (coconut chia pudding, strawberry purée, and granola) chilled together in a serving bowl.
