Tahini, Oats & Quinoa with Date Syrup, Nuts & Seeds. Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegan and No Refined Sugars.

Granola is one of those foods that can appear to be healthy while hiding a lot of processed and refined ingredients. Making your own is quick and easy plus you control what you eat. Using Date Syrup and Maple Syrup in this recipe ups the nutritional benefits plus it’s fibre and protein filled. It will last for 2-3 weeks in a sealed container in the cupboard so definitely one to make and get ahead.

I was delighted to be invited to collaborate with Frontier Foods and create recipes using some of their great products. I’ve been a fan for a long time and would always have a stock of their products in my cupboards to use as staples in my recipes.
