Breakfast Snack Granola
I find this Granola is used as much for snacking as it is for breakfast. I keep it out on the kitchen work top along side some dried fruit and seeds and often the family make their own mix and use this as snacks instead of crisps and chocolate. A superb Gluten Free, Dairy Free Breakfast Snack Granola.
