    One of our favourite, simple breakfasts is cinnamon granola with yoghurt and fruit. It's really satisfying, quick to make and pretty healthy too. It only takes 30 minutes to bake in the oven, then you have breakfast ready for a week!

    We find shop-bought granola can be a bit hit-and-miss - sometimes it contains honey which sucks for us vegans, but it's also often very high in sugar and oils.

    We created our cinnamon granola to be pretty balanced on that front, we have included a bit of oil in ours because we think it needs at least some to help coat everything, but we've used maple syrup as a sweetener which is a lot healthier than honey, as well as vegan, and unrefined so better than a lot of other sugars too.

    The benefits of cinnamon granola

    The bulk of our cinnamon granola is full of amazing ingredients:

    • Oats are packed with good things like fibre and iron.
    • Nuts contain lots of healthy, unsaturated fats, as well as protein.
    • Sunflower and pumpkin seeds contain anti-oxidants, complex E, B and K vitamins, as well as omega-6s and the list could go on!

    We've also included hulled hemp seeds as an optional extra. We've made this granola quite a few times, but only the most recent time did we include hemp seeds. They add a satisfying savoury edge, and we recently discovered the insane list of benefits to using hemp (not just in cooking), so we're really into them.

    Some are even claiming that hemp seeds are the most nutritionally complete food source in the world!

    What you'll need:

    • A large baking dish or deep baking sheet.
    • A big container to store all your delicious cinnamon crunch granola!

    It's great on top of chia pudding too! Try it on top of our Passionfruit Chia Pudding.
