Hello friends!
Today, it’s breakfast time! I’m sharing a super healthy, delicious, and easy-to-make recipe with you.
Chloé’s Granola!
The most important meal of the day
Breakfast is something sacred for me. A meal I never skip…
Of course, I love a good baguette with butter or jam, a generous slice of brioche, but right now it’s all about the breakfast bowl!
The origin of Chloé’s granola recipe
A super quick prep that I find more filling. Probably thanks to the yogurt’s protein and the granola itself.
I used to buy my granola until Chloé, my eldest daughter, suggested we try a homemade recipe. And that was a revelation!!
It’s very easy to make, very healthy, much lower in sugar than store-bought granolas (even organic ones), and it tastes amazing!
A versatile recipe
Here I’m sharing Chloé’s granola, a version you can adapt depending on what seeds and oats you have in stock—or simply according to your taste.
Some variation ideas: pecans or even chocolate chips.
Feel free to let me know in the comments which version is your favorite.
My secret ingredients for Chloé’s awesome granola
The special touch here is using tahini (white sesame seed paste). With over 10% fiber, sesame seeds—and therefore tahini—help support good digestive function. It’s also a rich source of trace elements. Eating tahini provides a significant amount of magnesium, potassium, calcium, and phosphorus to the body.
I also use a mix of culinary Argan oil and rapeseed oil. I really love using Argan oil in cooking… If you don’t have Argan or rapeseed oil, choose a mild-flavored vegetable oil.
The nutritional benefits of granola
Granola, a crunchy mix of cereals, dried fruits, and nuts, has become a breakfast and healthy snack essential. Loved for its delicious taste and crispy texture, it also offers many nutritional benefits.
Rich in fiber—especially thanks to rolled oats—granola promotes good digestion and keeps you full longer. It’s a great ally to avoid cravings between meals. It’s also a good source of plant-based protein, especially when it includes seeds like flax, sunflower, or chia, which also boost the intake of essential fatty acids that are good for cardiovascular health.
Dried fruits such as raisins, dates, or apricots provide natural sugars, vitamins, and minerals like potassium and magnesium. As for nuts—almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts—they’re rich in “good fats,” antioxidants, and micronutrients essential to maintaining the body’s balance.
Another plus: granola is highly customizable. It can be adjusted to suit anyone’s tastes or dietary needs—sugar-free, gluten-free, or packed with superfoods. Added to yogurt, plant-based milk, or just eaten by the spoonful, it’s a healthy, tasty, and nourishing option.
For a wholesome, healthy snack
This granola also makes a delicious snack for kids: a few dark chocolate chips for indulgence, some banana (or other fruit), and it’s perfect!!
It’s important to monitor the amount of sugar our young children consume. This lays the foundation for their future eating habits.
Necessary utensils:
Two bowls, one large and one small,
A cutting board and a good paring knife,
A spatula
And a baking mat (or a baking tray lined with parchment paper).
As for storage, I keep Chloé’s granola in a glass jar with an airtight lid. A metal tin would work just as well.
So let’s all say thank you to Chloé…
The recipe, Chef!
