⭐ Why you'll love this recipe
- Fun for kids (and adults!) - it makes a fun change from regular granola or oatmeal, and kids will love it as a weekend breakfast.
- Healthy - packed with healthy ingredients.
- Pantry staples - an easy to make recipe that uses items usually to hand.
🥘 Ingredients
Using typical breakfast ingredients, this granola pizza comprises mostly pantry staples. You will need:
- Oats: use certified gluten free if required. The Bob's Red Mill organic gluten free rolled oats are good.
- Chia seeds and flax: these help to bind the pizza together, and are full of healthy nutrients too.
- Sesame seeds: to add even more goodness to your pizza!
- Honey: because we all need some sweetness in our weekend breakfast I think . . .
- Almond butter (or nut or seed alternative): this also helps to bind the pizza together. You can use an alternative nut or seed butter if almond butter doesn't work for you.
- Olive oil: just a touch to help the pizza 'dough' get sticky and hold together.
- Cinnamon: for flavour, note that this is optional if you are low histamine.
🔪 Step by step instructions
- Pre-heat the oven and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl add the seeds and half a cup of water. Stir then set aside for 10-15 minutes.
- In a different larger bowl add the olive oil, almond butter, honey, oats and cinnamon if using. Once the seed mixture has had at least ten minutes, add to this bowl. Stir very thoroughly so it is all combined.
- On the parchment paper, place the oaty seed mixture and press down so that it forms a circular shape that is approximately ½ cm thick. Make sure that there are no gaps. Bake for 25-30 minutes so the edges are turning light golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Add your toppings just before serving. Enjoy!
🍐 Suggested toppings
Depending upon your dietary requirements, there are lots of ideas for toppings:
- Coconut cream or coconut yoghurt (if tolerated): make sure you add just as you are serving so the pizza doesn't go too soft!
- Blueberries: bursting with health, and I always find kids love blueberries too.
- Pumpkin seeds: I like the Terrasoul organic pumpkin seeds.
💭 Recipe tips
- Be sure to let the seeds soak for at least ten minutes. This is so the chia and flax seeds absorb the water and 'puff up' and become gelatinous, which then binds the pizza together.
- Try and ensure that there are no gaps in the pizza when the shape.
- Watch the pizza closely towards the end of cook time, as the edges can turn fast and we don't want a burnt breakfast!

- I haven't tried it myself, but if almond butter isn't for you then another nut or seed butter such as macadamia nut or pumpkin seed butter should work well.

Cinnamon is high histamine...

Hi there, cinnamon is one of the foods that is debated in terms of histamine. So on the SIGHI food list for histamine it rates as low histamine, but others have it higher (as is stated in the recipe notes). All my recipes follow the SIGHI list, but of course if you are not able to tolerate it, then simply leave it out of the recipe.
