Healthy Homemade Granola

Over the last ten years I’ve realised that I don’t digest wheat or sugar all that well and so my go-to toast for breakfast became a journey of discovery. I love granola but the store bought variety are laden with hidden sugars and leave me feeling bloated and hungry.

So on a mission to make my own I’ve tweaked this recipe along the way, it’s great as you can control all the ingredients and it keeps the metabolism moving (if you get what I mean). It’s also fabulous to mix up a bit with new seeds and spices.

The only down side of making granola in my opinion is that despite producing a large quantity enough to fill a 5kg jar, we seem to run out every 2 weeks.

Notes

• I like to watch the granola closely as it burns quickly. I switch the trays around giving them a mix with a fork every few minutes
