Deliciously Nutty, Healthy Granola

Granola hasn’t always had the best reputation when it comes to being healthy! But this granola is different. It is low in sugar, high in fibre, good fats and taste! It is so easy to make and the perfect topper for yoghurt, porridge or fruit and can be eaten alone or with milk. You can mix-up the nuts and seeds to increase the plant-variety each time or remove the nuts if you are adding it to lunchboxes.
