This is a gorgeous easy to make homemade Granola, much much more delicious than shop bought granola, that was given to me by Susie and James from Le Pignoulet, the wonderful french farmhouse we are lucky enough to stay in on our French Pilates Retreats.
Either try making it for yourself or perhaps join me on my next retreat and have it made for you!!
