Ingredients
- 50g (about 7) soft ready-to-eat dried apricots (we used Crazy Jack organic, because they are sulphur-free)
- ½ tbsp rapeseed oil
- 3 large eggs, whites only (see tip to use up the yolks)
- 200g porridge oats
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 25g desiccated coconut
- 25g flaked almonds
- 25g pumpkin seeds
- 3 x 120g pots bio yogurt
- 3 peaches, to serve
Method
- Heat oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4 and line a large baking tray with baking parchment.
- Tip the apricots, oil and egg whites into a bowl (see tip box for how to use up the egg yolks), then blitz with a hand blender until very smooth. Stir in the oats, cinnamon and vanilla, then fold through the desiccated coconut, almonds and pumpkin seeds.
- Pinch clusters of the mixture together to create texture in the granola, then scatter over the lined baking tray in a single layer. Bake for 15 mins, then toss (turning the larger pieces) and bake for a further 10 mins until golden and crunchy.
- Cool the granola completely on the tray, then pack into a large airtight jar or container. If you're saving two portions, serve two portions over three days, filling the base of each bowl with yogurt (½ pot for each portion) and topping with half a peach, sliced.
USE UP THE EGG YOLKS
Don't throw away the egg yolks – freeze for another day. Use in scrambled eggs, omelettes and to enrich mashed potatoes.

Ingredients
- 2 tsp cold pressed rapeseed oil, plus a little for the ramekins
- 50ml milk
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 160g plain wholemeal spelt flour
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 25g oats
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 x 120g pots bio Greek yogurt
- 400g strawberries, hulled and sliced
Method
- Heat oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6 and line the base of 4 x 185ml ramekins with a disc of baking parchment and oil the sides with the rapeseed oil. Measure the milk in a jug and make up to 300ml with water. Stir in the lemon juice, vanilla and the 2 tsp oil. Mix the flour, seeds and oats then blitz in a food processor to make the mix as fine as you can. Stir in the baking powder.
- Pour in the liquid, then stir in with the blade of a knife until you have a very wet batter like dough. Spoon evenly into the ramekins then bake on a baking sheet for 20 mins until risen – they don’t have to be golden but should feel firm. Cool for a few mins then run a knife round the inside of the ramekins to loosen the scones then carefully ease out.
- The scones can be eaten immediately or cooled and stored for later.
