i feel like every time i have cereal or granola, i am constantly sifting through it trying to pick out my favourite things. the clusters from honey bunches of oats, the almonds from special k, the marshmallows from lucky charms.. okay sorry, i am THAT person. like when you go to have breakfast & all the good stuff is magically gone from the box, hi. so i decided to make a breakfast granola that was full of ingredients i wouldn't have to sift through! a little mash up of all my favourite things; almonds, coconut & white chocolate. this is a simple granola perfect for any morning. serve it with a banana, fresh berries + almond milk & you got yourself the perfect breakfast! i know, white chocolate isn't the most healthy breakfast thing.. but it contains a very small amount, chopped into small pieces. so every time you get a bite, it's like a little sweet surprise! if you want to make this vegan, sub out the honey for agave & the white chocolate for vegan white chocolate or dark chocolate.
