Cacao and pecan granola
This has to be one of my favourite recipes yet! And granola is so easy I don’t know why people buy it anymore. It’s my cacao and pecan granola with freeze dried strawberries. Pairs perfectly with organic milk or yogurt and chopped bananas! A lovely way to start the morning - you know there are no horrible additives.
