A very easy, affordable and extremely healthy snack. Works best as a breakfast dish with some greek yogurt, topped with some berries or dry fruits. Make ahead on a weekend and you are pretty much sorted for the next two weeks.Mr N snacks a lot and I hate it when he rips into a bag of chips, so having this granola in a container on the dinning table makes me happy and contented. Also works as a dessert topping with vanilla ice cream.
