Cinnamon, nutmeg and ground cloves give a wonderful new flavour profile to your morning granola. It’s starting to look like the holidays out there, so it’s time to start spicing things up accordingly. Adding warming spices can turn any regular recipe into something nostalgic and reminiscent of winter’s wonders.
Simple, quick and delicious; this recipe will make approximately 5 cups of granola which will keep well for weeks when stored properly in an airtight container. Granola is versatile…great for breakfast topped on cultured coconut yogurt, with fruit salad, chopped apples or on its own…I love it as a snack mid morning with almond milk.
