This is the BEST granola recipe and it’s SO simple to make. I absolutely love granola, it’s so versatile and literally goes with everything .. Greek yogurt & fruit for breakfast, with milk as a snack or even as a topping for oats & smoothies – the possibilities are endless!
BUT, it can be really hard to find a good quality granola in the shop that isn’t loaded with added sugar and cheap oils that doesn’t set you back €5 for a tiny bag!! For this reason, I’ve always made my own and this recipe is full of all the hormone friendly fibre, magnesium and healthy fatty acids … it also just tastes amazing!
