About

This homemade granola is much cheaper and healthier than the shop-bought stuff which is often loaded with sugar. You can flavour it to your own tastes – my kids love this chocolate version! It fills a really big jar, keeps for a couple of weeks, and is perfect with milk, added to yoghurt or sprinkling over a smoothie.
