Easy homemade granola
A deliciously crunchy and super-simple granola. You can adapt the recipe to include nuts and dried fruit if you like by replacing one cup of the oats with one cup of nuts or fruit. Serve with milk or yoghurt for breakfast and add your favourite fresh fruit on top. You can also enjoy or by the handful as a snack and it makes a great addition to school lunchboxes.
