This is staple granola is super easy to make and a great one to get the kiddies involved in. Think easy, mess-free and one bowl mix – also known as kids put their aprons on and “help” mummy measure ingredients, throw half of the ingredients on the floor, lose interest after a minute and run away leaving me with the mess. Baking with kids is just so relaxing, after all. Haha! Anyway, this Choc Pecan Granola is a must make – super healthy and tastes amazing! Great for breakfast served with Greek yogurt and berries, as overnight oats layered with berries and yogurt, with fruit salad or to use as a crumble topping for desserts.
