“Busy mums find this no added sugar breakfast keeps them brimming with energy right up until lunch!”
Ellen Roche, Dietician, Kilkenny.

Note it is important to allow for the full baking time as a shorter time may result in the granola being too moist, therefore going off within a few days of storage.
Also a great nutritious afternoon snack.
Baby – Chickpea and Coriander Stew
“Full of interesting flavours.”
