This yummy granola is so satisfying you will barely notice it’s any different to ‘normal’ granola!
Filled with nuts, dried fruit, coconut, quinoa & rice and mixed together with the lusciousness of butter and honey, its the perfect fast-food option for breakfast.
The quinoa flakes increase the protein content and create a really lovely flavour once baked.
You can leave some of the fruit out if you are watching the fructose sugars, but some in there is nice.
You can use coconut oil in place of the butter if you want it completely dairy free too.
I love having granola in the cupboard as a backup for when time is of the essence or eggs are getting a bit monotonous! It’s just delicious with my creamy homemade Almond Milk
Enjoy, Gabrielle xx.
