This is such an easy to make. It is so much nicer than shop bought granola and lower in sugar than most as well. If you don't like nuts..leave them out. If you dislike dried fruit, add extra seeds instead. It is so versatile and you can change it to your likes and needs. It can be great pre or post run food as well. High in carbs fuelling and recovery. If having post run, have with some yogurt to get some extra protein.
I like to use it as a snack with plain bio yogurt and fresh fruit but its perfect with milk and fresh fruit for breakfast.
It takes no time at all to prepare and only 40 mins in the oven.
