Homemade granola, the most delicious, nutritious, and healthy for everyone’s breakfast, especially for kids who usually prefer ready-made and packaged snacks. Super energetic with milk or yogurt, it guarantees a really good breakfast, and making it at home is really easy. Naturally, it must be baked in the oven with honey and sugar, which gives it that pleasant crunchiness. Unlike granola, muesli is just a mixture of dried fruits and rolled oats without cooking, all raw and without sugars.
