Serves 10

Cooking Time Prep time 25 mins, cook 25 mins (plus cooling)



120 gm (1 cup) each   rolled oats, spelt flakes, triticale and rye flakes (see note)
130 gm   almonds, coarsely chopped
60 gm (½ cup)   puffed spelt
60 gm (½ cup)   puffed millet
30 gm   sesame seeds
1½ tsp   ground cinnamon

2 tbsp   grapeseed oil
1   pineapple, quartered lengthways, core removed, sliced into 3cm pieces
2   bananas, thinly sliced
Pulp   of 3 passionfruit
To serve:   chilled Jersey milk (see note) and thick yoghurt


1 Combine oats, spelt flakes, triticale, rye flakes, almonds, puffed grains, sesame seeds and spices in a large bowl and set aside.
2 Preheat oven to 180C. Warm maple syrup and rice syrup in a saucepan over low heat, add oil, pour over oat mixture and stir to coat. Spread on oven trays lined with baking paper and bake, stirring occasionally, until crisp and golden (15-20 minutes). Cool on trays. Granola will keep in an airtight container for 2 weeks.
3 To serve, combine pineapple, banana and passionfruit in a bowl, toss gently to combine and serve with spiced five-grain granola, Jersey milk and thick yoghurt.

Note Spelt flakes, triticale and rye flakes are all available from select health-food shops. If they’re unavailable, substitute extra rolled oats. Jersey milk has a high fat content. It’s available from select farmers’ markets and delicatessens.
