Crunchy Granola
My Crunchy Granola is deliciously rich and sweet so, although it is a great source of fibre, good fats, protein, vitamins and minerals, you only need a little bit (easier said than done!).  In our house, we find it works well as a 'special treat sometimes-brekkie (or snack)'.  My husband loves sprinkling it on his porridge to jazz it up when he's feeling porridge is getting a bit 'same same'... and the kids love it anytime they can get their little fingers on it!  It is also great sprinkled on or under paw paw, natural yoghurt and flaxseed oil.  I vary the quantities and ingredients every time I make it depending upon what I feel like and what I have in my cupboard.  Other things you can add include nuts, chia seeds, flaxseeds.... and you can add dried fruit 10 minutes before the end of baking if you like your granola fruity and sweeter.
