This Christmas my budget is at an all-time low so I have been trying to creatively devise some homemade presents.
No one wants to be that relative that gives useless gifts so instead I am aiming to create fun presents that will actually be serving a purpose.
With that in mind - who doesn’t like granola?
Meet my Christmas-inspired pumpkin pie granola which tastes so good raw you might just end up eating the entire batch before it sees the oven.
Make a batch if you are looking for cheap and useful present ideas, or would simply like to spice up your breakfast routine.
This granola tastes so naughty but is nutritionally nice.
With no refined oils or sweeteners, it is low fat and low GI and will keep you going all morning! It is sweetened with date paste and the entire batch contains only 2 tablespoons of tahini to stick it all together.
Sprinkle on top of nicecream or smoothie bowls or simply enjoy a bowl with almond milk and fresh fruit.
NOTE: This recipe makes 1 big jar of granola which will last you a week or two of breakfasts.
If you are making this recipe for Christmas presents I would suggest doubling it so that you can get a few smaller jars out of it.
Add a cute pumpkin label with the ingredients on the side for a special home-made touch!
