Making your own granola is the way to go! It is quick, easy and the best thing about making your own is that you control what goes in it. Homemade granola is made using whole food, natural ingredients loaded with fibre and is naturally sweetened with dates. It’s also a much healthier alternative to store bought granola which usually contains lots of oil, refined sugars, and salt!
Hope you enjoy this recipe!
