I don’t know about you, but I love granola on my yogurt for crunch. I make my own because we’re a nut free house and this way I can control the ingredients to keep it healthy. I mix up my recipe and add in different bits depending on what’s in my pantry. Sometimes I add dried cranberries, raisins or even chocolate chips. This batch was beyond delicious because I used both maple syrup infused with cinnamon and cloves and I added wildflower honey infused with turmeric. These additional flavours took my granola to a whole new level of flavour. The granola keeps in a tightly sealed jar for a few weeks.
