This is the ultimate go-to granola recipe that you can enjoy as a tasty meal or a scrumptious snack. My preferred way to enjoy this flavoursome, nutritious granola recipe is with a heaping of fresh fruit, whipped lemon coconut cream, and fresh mint from the garden. Although, you can also enjoy this granola with a home-made berry compote, as pictured below.
