Good Morning

Mixed Seed & Buckwheat Crunchy Granola

0 Save

Let’s get back to basics; there’s nothing fancy about this simple Granola… except maybe how great it tastes when it’s sprinkled over yoghurt, sprucing up your cereal or topping off a smoothie!

Bonus, it includes additional healthy fats, added nutrition, and because we use maple syrup to sweeten, it contains 50% less sugar than your typical high street version.

It takes only 10 minutes of hands-on time cooking and should last your family well over a week.
