My homemade Granola

In my opinion breakfast is the most important meal.

Starting your day with a tasty, healthy and nutritious breakfast can keep you fit and strong for the whole day. It is nice to have a variety of breakfast options so we don’t get bored. Granola is one of them and you buy it from any supermarket in a variety of flavours, but of course a homemade one is much better. This way you can make it up to your taste; how sweet or how crunchy you want it to be. You can eat it with Greek yogurt or milk – almond, coconut, soya – anything goes and you can add fresh seasonal fruit if you wish.

• 4 cups oats
• 2 cups raw nuts & seeds (I put almonds, pistachio nuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds)

Wet ingredients
