There is so much junk in store bought cereals, I always make my own granola. That way I know exactly what I’m eating. Serve with almond milk and fresh berries for an ideal way to start your day.

3 cups gluten-free jumbo oats
1/2 cup mixed nuts

2 tbsp black chia seeds
1/2 cup golden ground flaxseeds

1/3 cup sunflower oil or coconut oil
1/2 cup dried apricots
Method
Pre-heat the oven to 150°C.
