Apple icon Tips

  • Granola will keep for up to 1 month in an airtight container in the pantry.
  • To get a headstart with berry granola cups, make raspberry mixture the night before and keep, covered, in fridge. Layer in glasses with granola and yoghurt just before serving.
  • Granola can also be served simply with milk and/or yoghurt and fresh fruit of your choice.
  • Hazelnuts and sultanas can be replaced with different nuts and dried fruit. Try pecans with dried apricots or macadamias with dried figs.
