Maple and Pecan Granola; packed with oats pumpkin and sunflowers seeds, drizzled maple syrup and toasted pecans.
Wake up to something bright. And, shine.
This dish will burst any belief that vegan food can’t be super yummy.
Make this:
- When you’ve got your beau/belle overnight and need a lush brekkie dish that’ll have you back in bed in no time for more
- When you’re rushing out the door in the morning and need a satisfying dish that’ll have your day starting with a bang
- When the sun’s rising on a swanky morning and you’ve got a blazing day of busyness
Maple and Pecan Granola was inspired when a fellow vegan chef visited from the Far East and a lavish brekkie was just placated our hungry appetites as we spent a day ahead cooking new vegan delights.
Granola was developed by Dr. Jackson who came up with the idea of bringing together a healthy cold breakfast cereal. Usually made with oats, nuts, seeds and dried fruits baked until crisp.
Maple and Pecan Granola makes a wonderful start to the day. Add some raspberries and redcurrants to snazz it up or eat it with some yoghurt. It saves on purchasing shop brought and you know what ingredients you have placed inside.
Maple and Pecan Granola is vegan and gluten-free.
