CHRISTMAS GRANOLA.

Christmas Granola.


Every time I make granola from scratch I wonder why I don’t do it more often. It’s so quick and easy to make; the flavours are so interchangeable and you get to be in-charge of what goes into it.

No additives or preservatives! As someone who is quite conscious of the ingredients that are in shop bought cereals, this is a great way to get a handle on it.


I’m also a big lover of dried fruit. Cherries, raspberries, pineapple – you name it and I’ll eat it.

Urban Fruit were kind enough to send me some of their new range and I can confirm it is delicious! I added as many as possible into this granola, but of course you can omit and add in your preferred fruits, nuts and/ or seeds.

Pumpkin seeds with flaked almonds and sultanas works really well, as does desiccated coconut and mango. There are so many dreamy flavour combinations the hardest part is choosing!


Homemade Granola also makes a great gift idea. This year I’ve tried to reduce the amount I usually buy and have turned to making gifts. Making big batches means that you can easily divy it up into mason jars and decorate with tinsel, ribbons and bows!

Festive treats for the whole family.
