Nutty Ginger and Mixed Spice Granola

Sometimes I spend ages thinking about what to bake, looking at recipes for inspiration and searching our kitchen cupboards. Other times I come home; throw a whole variety of ingredients together and a little bit of kitchen magic happens.

Okay, magic is a tiny bit of an exaggeration but it is a ‘magical’ time of year, so can you forgive me? Or maybe I’m just blogging about a huge granola high.

Okay, I’ll come clean – I’m on high, you know the ‘I made granola and it’s so darn good‘ kind of high..

I get my kicks in the kitchen…

Back to granola – everything about this just works. sure It’s simple, which is something I like my recipes to be as I’m not the most time rich of people. But there is a balance of healthy fat, sweetness from the honey, iron, and fiber from the bran flakes and a little kick from the ginger.

I served this for breakfast with blackberry chia jam and coconut yogurt, it was absolute perfection – However, I’m biased and you need to try this for yourself…
