100gr of mixed seeds (ie. sunflower and pumpkin seeds)
50gr of nuts (hazelnuts and/or almonds, walnut, etc)

Granola is a fantastic alternative way of eating oats for breakfast in the summer if you don't fancy the old porridge. It is such a treat and so easy to make. those in the supermarket might be packed with sugar, butter and other not so healthy ingredients but making your own you can have control over what exactly you are having for your breakfast.
First, mix the oats with the seeds, the ground cinnamon, ground almonds, honey and oil to roast in the oven (150C), stirring every so often to make sure they roast evenly.
Leave them in the oven until they are golden but it should be ready in about 30 minutes.
Once cooked, leave it to cool and then add the dried fruit and nuts. Mix and eat with yoghurt, milk or just on their own.
Store it in a sealed jar to keep it crunchy.
