By now we are all familiar with granola. It invaded the market a few years ago and now
you can easily find it in any supermarket.
However, it's quite easy to make at home. It's not only cheaper, but it can also be healtier
and you can adapt the ingredients to your taste. If you don't have all these seeds in your pantry, you can swap for others or just add twice as much from the seeds you do have.
You can also replace the nuts - just use this recipe as a base and go wild!
