This would make the perfect quick breakfast or snack. Try adding this granola to some yogurt and berries for an easy breakfast or snack.
The base is nuts, oats and chia seeds. To keep things on the healthier side, we went with maple syrup for natural sweetness. And our Öko-Caribe 70% gives a flavourful boost to the roasted nuts and seeds.
Easy to make and delicious to eat, enjoy!
