This delicious granola recipe is a doddle to put together and will keep for many working weeks of breakfasts.

EDIT: I have halved all the ingredients in this recipe from the feedback I've received. SW

Make sure you have a lot of air-tight, plastic storage containers, as this recipe makes a lot of granola. If you’re doing this is an experiment, feel free to half all the ingredients as a trial. For an extra protein portion, serve the granola with a few heaped tablespoons of low-fat yoghurt.

If you have nut allergies, you can remove the peanut butter and replace the chopped nuts with additional seeds.
