This is the kind of recipe I would double and store in a large jar for a little breakfast luxury throughout the week… I might even take a handful out now and then as a snack too ;-)) x

Fabulous picture as always! The last time I made granola I burnt it, in a crockpot I might add!

Stunning, really it’s almost too pretty to scoop up! I also love your cardamom addition!
Yogurt, granola (homemade nonetheless!) and fruit are a great trio of taste and textures. One of my favorite evening snacks. :)

Thank you, Kevin! It did make a great snack indeed. I loved the cardamom too and I have a feeling that I have only scratched the surface of this beautiful spice, I’m going to have to experiment much more with it. :)

Oh wow. This is how to make granola gourmet! I love it. I would totally grab spoonfuls of it too, straight out of the jar! Easy to do with homemade granola, never do it with store bought (well, I never buy granola!) :)
Nicole B.
Ooooh, gourmet granola, that’s what I should have named this. Would also be a good blog name, The Granola Gourmet. :)
