Funfetti Granola
This funfetti granola is for all the grown up kids out there.
Plus all the young kids too.
It is as simple as making a base of coconut and maple granola and adding in a liberal helping of Dr Oetker’s sprinkles. Plus anything else you want (pistachios and cashews work very well)
Yeap it is that simple. Plus this make a great base for some funfetti cookies.
And a big thanks to my friend E whose smarties and toasted coconut granola inspired my funfetti version and for making breakfast fun these past few weeks.
Now what fun breakfast ideas do you have?

Notes
This looks like a fun recipe with all those sprinkles and a great way to liven up the mornings.
How fun! I love the idea of using it as a base for cookies. Yum! I am a huge granola fan. I eat it every day for breakfast with some banana or strawberries when they’re in season 🙂
I hope you’ve been well! Sorry I haven’t been around as much lately – I do miss my visits here!
No worries Tammy. Miss seeing your posts too.
Love it! This would work great for a snack for me throughout the day…
Yeap that is a plan.
Such a cute granola! I could see this being a quick foodie gift to someone.
Hey Christmas foodie gift idea Jessica.
Very fun and pretty at the same time. I love homemade granola – you can’t beat it!
😀
Very pretty – such a lovely idea to add colour to breakfast-time!
Thanks Ren.
Great idea for a healthy cereal for kids, Bintu … and adults! I would happily scoff down a bowl or two of this! I was reading the back of a box of granola yesterday in the supermarket and there is sooo much sugar in it. This is a hundred times better. 🙂
I tend to be careful of store bought granola. There are a few brands that are OK but lots of them have to much sugar for me.
I always hear about funfetti on American blogs, but I thought it was fancier than sugar strands. Funfetti is definitely a fun name for it.
That’s my take on it too J.
Oh, love the idea of using maple syrup in granola – I will add some to the next batch I make. You’ve made it all look very pretty.
Maple syrup instead of honey makes it vegan too.
How pretty! I like granola and keep meaning to try making my own
It is definitely worth it Fiona. You add in exactly what you want.
What a fun breakfast idea!
😀
This is fun and a nice way to brighten up your day x
It is right? Works too with smoothies.
This looks so fun to do, I will have to look into giving this a go.
As I said big kiddoes love these too….
Breakfast in our house is more functional I think – although we did do raspberry porridge this week, which was pretty and tasty!
I do lots of functional too. I just like mixing it up sometimes.
This looks so very colourful and pretty.
Colourful so I can tempt the kiddoes to eat more granola.
Looks amazing,will have to try it 🙂
😀
I didn’t realise granola was so easy to make. I can’t eat the versions sold in shops, but I might attempt my own now 🙂
Yes very easy especially as you control the amount of sweet you put in.
Oh how pretty! Love a homemade granola myself but the kids aren’t always as keen, but this is certainly a way to grab their attention!.
That was the plan Lou. Making it all about fun.
