Description
A fun idea for breakfast, brunch or a healthy snack, this gluten-free vegan Granola Fruit Pizza is totally customizable with your favourite toppings.
Ingredients
For the base:
- 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
- 3/4 cup oat flour (easily made by pulsing rolled oats in a food processor)
- 2/3 cup honey (or maple syrup, if vegan)
- 3 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 2 tbsp hemp seeds
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Topping
- 1 cup plain coconut yogurt, almond yogurt or coconut whipped cream
- 1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup if vegan, optional, to sweeten yogurt)
- freshly sliced fruit of choice – I used blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, apricots and grapes
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Line the bottom of a 9″ diameter springform pan with a piece of parchment paper, or grease a 9″ diameter cake pan to prevent the granola base from sticking.
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients for the granola mixture. Stir them well until they resemble oatmeal cookie dough, then press firmly into the bottom of the pan in a single, even layer.
Bake the granola base for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely. (You can place it in the fridge to get this done faster.)
Meanwhile, prepare your toppings. Slice the fruit and if you like, mix the sweetener into the yogurt to sweeten.
Carefully remove the granola base from the pan. Spread the yogurt/whipped topping on the granola base, leaving a few centimeters around the edge.
Decorate with fruit and any of your favourite toppings!
Notes
- The granola base can be made ahead of time if needed.
- Coconut whipped cream can be bought in grocery stores, or you can make your own by whipping a can of full fat coconut milk. If using coconut cream, I don’t recommend adding sweetener as it could affect the fluffy texture.
