Ditch the cereal bowl for breakfast and try a Coconut Granola Bowla!
There is a little spot in our downtown that I love to stop after my morning walks. It is small, it is quaint, everything is homemade and they focus on healthy ingredients. Truth be told, they are responsible for my smoothie and smoothie bowl kick. One day their Bowla Granola caught my attention and I was hooked. I fell in love with the Coconut Granola Bowla almost as much as smoothie bowls. Almost… but what I like most of all is that I felt like I was enjoying a Pina Cola for breakfast. Yet it was filled with nutritious granola, pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, cashews and more swimming in a bowl of coconut milk.
Here is he funny thing about this little spot. I love their food and the atmosphere, truly small town meets healthy trendy. Oy! Their service! Yes, it is one of those places that you do not want to stop in unless you have nothing but time on your hands. And every once in a while, you will pop in there and hey, what do you know, they are closed or they are opening late that day. No rhyme or reason other than… this is just what we do in small towns. Quietly, there is something about this that makes me smile. To have the confidence that your customers will continue to come back even when you break your own rules is a beautiful thing.
What was I to do on the days when I was welcomed by a closed sign on the door? Well, I started making my own Coconut Granola Bowla at home and I have had so much fun with the toppings. I love adding fresh fruit and chia seeds but my all time favorite topping is a plop of maple yogurt. So easy to make and packed with flavor with a touch of sweetness.
This recipe is also so fun for brunch or for kids sleepovers. Everyone can add their favorite toppings. The kids love the granola and nuts and will be talking about it for days after!

- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup granola, use your favorite combination, I used a Pina Colada mix
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons chopped almonds
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons dried cranberries or cherries
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ teaspoon real maple syrup
- fresh fruit of your choice, I love any kind of berries and slices of mangoes
- Pour the coconut milk into a bowl.
- Top with granola and all the other toppings of your choice.
- Top with a tablespoon maple syrup Greek yogurt.
- To make the maple syrup Greek yogurt:
- Combine the Greek yogurt and maple syrup in a small container. Refrigerate and use as needed.
