Crunchy Pistachio Granola from Sicily | Tastiness Food Shop
A breakfast that smells of Sicily: Crunchy Pistachio Granola made at home with Sicilian Pistachio Granella from Tastiness. Vivid green, intense flavour, irresistible crunch. A homemade recipe that fills your kitchen with aroma and flavour.
Preheat the oven to 160°C fan. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Mix the dry ingredients
In a large bowl combine the rolled oats, sea salt and half the pistachio granella. 💡 Tastiness Tip: reserve the other half for the last 5 minutes of baking to better preserve its vivid green colour and crunch.
3. Add the wet ingredients
Pour the honey, vanilla extract and melted coconut oil over the dry mixture. Stir well until everything is evenly coated.
4. Bake
Spread the mixture evenly on the tray. Bake for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and crunchy. Add the remaining pistachio granella in the last 5 minutes.
5. Cool and store
Leave to cool completely before breaking up — it crisps as it cools. Add raisins or dried blueberries if desired. Store in an airtight jar for up to 2 weeks.
Pairings and Variations
Serve with Greek yogurt and honey, cold almond milk or simply enjoy by the handful as a snack. You can replace some of the oats with puffed quinoa or add toasted coconut flakes for a tropical twist.
The Story
Sicilian pistachio, grown mainly in Bronte on the slopes of Etna, is considered one of the finest in the world for its aromatic intensity and colour. Its granella has starred in Sicilian pastry-making for centuries — bringing it to the breakfast table is the most delicious way to start the day.
