Start the day right with a sweet, crunchy, protein-packed hit. This recipe is completely customisable, based on personal taste and what you have knocking around in your cupboards! It adds a delicious bite to yoghurt and fruit, or a tasty energy-boosting snack. Mix it with chocolate chips and raisins and you have your own trail mix to take on matzah rambles!
It’s versatile, easy to make and a fraction of the cost of buying shop-bought Pesach granola. The cost can be reduced further by using whatever nuts you have available, and a smaller variety if preferred. And, if you eat kitniyot, you can add seeds, too. We happened to have several open packets when recipe testing, and the measurements below are only a guideline.
The recipe below makes plenty to last through Pesach, but if you fancy some variety in your mornings, there are plenty of delicious Passover breakfast recipes to choose from on the Pesach section of the website.
