I find breakfast to be one of the tougher meals to get right when it comes to a PCOS-friendly diet, and this is also something I hear often from those who join my free 30-Day PCOS Diet Challenge.
We’re tired, we’re rushed, and I get that meat and vegetables (the ideal breakfast nutritionally speaking) may not appeal to everyone. Well, fortunately, a PCOS-friendly diet is flexible enough to not let perfect be the enemy of the good. You can find more PCOS diet recipes here.
Here’s everything you’ll need to make this PCOS Granola Bake:
- Flaxseed/Linseed meal
- Almonds
- Walnuts
- Pecans
- Coconut flakes
- Coconut oil
- Almond milk
- Coconut oil

- Ground Ceylon cinnamon
- Salt
- Apples
- Filtered water
This granola bake recipe is a fantastic, prep-ahead-for-several-days kinda breakfast. It’s super-delicious and also very filling, making it the perfect addition to your recipe collection.

Granola Bake (PCOS-Friendly)
Ingredients
Pantry
- 2 tbsp Flaxseed/Linseed meal
- 1/2 cup Almonds
- 1/2 cup Walnuts
- 1/2 cup Pecans
- 1/3 cup Coconut flakes
- 1 tbsp Coconut oil (melted, for toasting nuts)
- 1/2 Almond milk
- 2 tbsp Coconut oil (melted, cooled)
- 1 tbsp Apple pie spice
- 1 tsp Ground Ceylon cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Salt
Fruit
- 2 Apples (peeled, grated)
Other
- 5 tbsp Filtered water
Instructions
- Mix the flaxseed meal and water in a small bowl and set aside for 10-15 minutes to allow to thicken.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lay nuts and coconut flakes in a single layer, then drizzle with coconut oil. Roast for 5-7 minutes, then remove and allow to cool.
- Increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
- In a food processor or high-powered blender, pulse nuts and coconut to make a crumbly mixture. Take care to not over process it as you’ll get an oily mixture.
- In a large bowl combine the processed nuts with the grated apples, almond milk, flaxseed mixture, additional coconut oil, spices, and salt. Transfer to a 9” x 9” (25 x 25 cm) baking dish and bake for 35-40 minutes, until the top begins to crisp and brown.
- Serve warm, with coconut yogurt.
