Granolas top the list of some of my favorite breakfast foods. They are so versatile and is so good on their own. When I don't have time for a fancy breakfast, I fill my bowl up with my homemade granola, sprinkle a handful of berries on it and pour some almond milk into the bowl. But when I do have time for a #perfectbreakfast, I'll make a smoothie bowl and sprinkle it generously with this granola.
This recipe is packed full of antioxidants, complex-carbohydrates, healthy fats and is extremely delicious! The best part? It is a one-bowl recipe that you can make in under 30 minutes!
