Cardamom & Brazil Nut Diversity Granola

Cardamom & Brazil Nut Diversity Granola

by Amy Oboussier

Boost your breakfast's diversity with this granola, packed with flaked grains, seeds and Brazil Nuts, and flavoured with sweet and fragrant vanilla and cardamom. Our new granola bundles provide a great selection of ingredients to get started.

Much of the granola on supermarket shelves is highly processed and packed with sugar, despite being touted as a health food. Making it at home really is a no-brainer!

Granola is easy to make, can easily be adapted with your favourite flavours or seasonal ingredients and stores well in an airtight container for a few weeks or in the freezer for months.

Tim Spector tells us one of the best ways to improve gut health is to eat 30 plant-based foods a week - more diversity in our diets means more diversity in our guts. Our granola bundles are a great way to achieve this - the Big Granola Bundle includes 16 flakes, nuts, seeds and fruits, meaning you’re over half-way to 30 before the day has even begun!

Flexing this recipe to include as many different types of grains and seeds as possible will not only is this increase the diversity but also the flavour and texture of your granola.

Carrot Cake Flapjacks
Carrot Cake Flapjacks

by Rachel de Thample

These have the most heavenly carrot cake-like flavour and texture, making them wildly indulgent as well as deliciously nourishing. The best part is that you don’t need to cook them. Their sweetness comes from dates, which are full of fibre, and honey, which you can omit to further reduce sugars, if needed.
