Homemade Nutty Granola.

I always find what I eat for breakfast can have such an impact on my mental wellbeing and how my day pans out. On the days where I feel like something sweet I turn to this recipe. Pair it with some greek yogurt and top with chia seeds, walnuts, some cut up fruit and a drizzle of honey and you have yourself a bowl of delicious goodness! Keep the granola in an air tight container and it will keep well for several weeks.
