Crunchy Granola
This delicious and nutritious dish is a staple in our house
This is delicious! Full of low gi foods, like oats, quinoa & buckwheat with a touch of honey and coconut oil. It is very easy to make and the whole family loves it. Sometimes we have it for dessert with fruit and natural yoghurt, other times we have it for breakfast or an after school snack. It is a great source of low gi carbs and minerals.
