Easy Breakfast




Granola, is surprisingly easy to make and versatile. Excellent with milk or yogurt as breakfast or crumbled over berries and ice cream for dessert - it become a household staple. Granola is also amenable to whatever we have in the cupboard, with maple syrup standing in for honey or a wide range of dried berries and even chocolate chips, the combination are endless.
