This delightful roasty toasty granola, naturally sweetened with date syrup is the granola of dreams. It’s rich, crunchy, nutty and packed full of deep flavour. I am in love with the irresistible pieces of chopped dates that get baked and become crisp on the outside but soft and caramelised on the inside. They’re like little unexpected flavour nuggets of super tasty sweeteness. This granola is sugar-free, gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan.
