GRANOLA

I've really been enjoying these "colder" mornings in Brisbane! It's a little cozier, a little darker and just all around a bit more comfortable. I never thought I'd say it, but sometimes summer in Brisbane is just way too hot!
I love that with the change of seasons, my body starts to crave different meals too. It feels so much better to eat something warm over a smoothie! I love my oatmeal, but I've been trying to play around with a little more tastes. This granola is a perfect topping and can be altered every batch so it doesn't feel like you are eating the exact same thing every morning (if that isn't your thing!)

Ingredients

,Please feel free to change this up each batch! Think about adjusting the spices, nuts and dried fruit to give yourself variety.
