Make-ahead Breakfast Favourites

Super Easy Granola!

Since making my own granola, I’ve become a little obsessed and I haven’t ever looked back at shop-bought; in fact, I don’t think I ever will! This granola is SO good, keeps well in the cupboard for weeks and you can easily adapt it to the flavours you like!


Greek yoghurt topped with homemade granola and fresh berries on top is one of my favourite ways to start the day! And there’s no gate-keeping here so I’ve popped the recipe for you below.


And if you would prefer to watch how I made them, as well as get some inspiration for other quick make-ahead breakfasts, then make sure you click on the YouTube video below!
