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.

Here’s the link if you want to check it out: https://www.cozebakes.com/2016/11/04/buckwheat-pancakes-gluten-free/ – this recipe has never failed to work but I finally found one that is healthier and uses no refined sugar plus you can make it dairy free if needed.
