Nuts and Seeds Granola

If, like me, you love to have a something set aside to grab for a quick and easy breakfast then it is well worth making up a batch of your own granola at the weekend to see you through the week.

Once you have made and enjoyed your own granola you'll never be happy with anything store brought again!
