Home Made Granola #2 [Vegan & Sugar Free]

I made some granola earlier this year, however this time around it's all about making use of all the almost-finished items in my pantry.

The one unusual ingredient in this version is the inclusion of Ryvita Crispbread. Their crispy and crunchy texture makes them perfect for granola, adding bulk without the fat of nuts and seeds. 

Granola is something which you can enjoy all year-round. My favourite ways to enjoy granola are sprinkling some over yogurt or having a a serve along with a piece of fruit.

Always having some stashed away means you'll be less tempted to reach for a naughty snack.
