2 Easy Recipes For Sugar-Free, Nutty Homemade Granola!

I’m not really a cereal and milk kind of person. I like my eggs and toast with a hot cup of coffee in the mornings. However, granola which is a super healthy breakfast cereal is something I can eat pretty much all day. It has all my favourite ingredients – almonds, raisins, walnuts, cinnamon and honey. Nuts as most of you are aware, have it all!! Rich in energy, protein, packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and the much discussed Omega-3 fatty acids, nuts are crunchy and wonderful to munch on. Since granola is made with oats, it’s an excellent source of iron and dietary fibre.
