Mother’s Day Brunch :: Granola + Roasted Plums

Tuesday, July 3, 2012 Recipes  

 

Our first course at the Mother’s Day Brunch was Granola, Yogurt and Roasted Plum  – we topped it with coconut and a drizzle of homemade Orange Blossom Agave.

The granola is Christine’s favorite base recipe – to which you can add all your favorites – nuts, dried fruit etc.

The Plums were topped with brown sugar and coconut and roasted for about 15 minutes at 375 degrees

Turns out flavored agave is a super easy thing to do. We added 2 Tablespoons of Orange Blossom Water to Agave syrup.

    This is one of those recipes I never would’ve thought of (not that I’m at all creative with recipes in the first place), but sounds amazing! I will have to give this a go sometime.

    We LOVE homemade granola in our house! And with plums…perfect! This recipe is much healthier than the one I posted today for an Inside-Out German Chocolate Cake!

    Beautiful! I’ve been looking for bright white dishes for a while… I’d love to know what style/brand you show in your last photo.

    I wish that the paper under the plums was a wallpaper. How beautiful would that be! Hope it’s okay if I pin this.
