About

This homemade granola is all about natural, wholesome, good-for-you ingredients, and it contains no added sugar. These quantities can easily double up, which is well worth doing as once made it will store well in an airtight container. It’s also a great recipe for using up open bags of dried fruit, nuts and seeds. Choose your own cocktail of flavours to add to the base of oats and banana, and enjoy every morning knowing there is no added sugar (did I mention that?).
