It’s no secret how much I love breakfast!

Like seriously love it!

Sometimes I go to bed early just so breakfast time can hurry up and get here already!

One of the things I adore about breakfast is that it is probably the one meal you can get away with eating anytime of day. No questions asked.

We’ve all been there right? Breakfast for dinner = dinner winner?!

And breakfast can really be whatever you want it to be, sweet, savoury, hot cold, sitting, standing, in bed, on the go you name it, anything goes!

Love, love, love!

And right now I am seriously loving this granola!

It’s crispy, crunchy and subtly sweet with a few of those divine, extra crispy little clusters we all hunt for scattered throughout ♥

YUM!

This granola is made with just a handful of ingredients and has no refined sugars added, sweetened naturally with a little vanilla extract and some maple syrup.

I used just one tiny teaspoon of coconut oil to help give this granola a little extra crunch, that combined with the crispy, crunchy, buttery, nuttiness of those maple coated roasted almonds . . . I can’t even, so good!

One of my favourite ways to eat this granola is simply sprinkled onto of a cup of Greek yoghurt,

with a few fresh berries,

and a drizzle of maple syrup!

D-R-E-A-M-Y!

Or you could simply eat it by the handful, throw some into your smoothie or sprinkle it over your weekend waffle stack either way you can’t really go wrong! Breakfast, snack time, anytime.

Simple. Healthy. Homemade ♥

Make it, eat it, love it
