About

Homemade granola is infinitely more tasty than bought cereal, and you can make it to your own preferences with different quantities of dried fruit, nuts and seeds. Quinoa toasts beautifully in a hot oven, helping to give this granola a lovely crunch that is complemented by a fruit compote. Make double quantities and store in an airtight container.
