This recipe can serve multiple purposes –  make it for yourself as a kick-starter to a healthy summer or make it for family and friends for a wonderful Christmas gift. It’s a lovely way to make something thoughtful and homemade and the kids can get involved too!

The granola is packed full of oats, nuts and seeds. It’s great served as a crunchy topping over yoghurt or in a more traditional way with milk. Add some fresh berries or your favourite fruit to serve.

Hope you enjoy!
