Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and during Passover, I just want my granola.
So I created a super fruity, chewy granola. I have used whatever dried fruits and nuts I had on hand so feel free to improvise and create your own.
If you are looking for a simple granola the kids will like be sure to check out my Nutty Coconut Matzo Granola.
I think both a worth making and the recipes are so easy you and your kids will be able to whip up a batch in no time at all. Say goodbye to boring matzo with butter and hello to yummy granola.
Thanks so much for all the love and support and for continually inspiring me to create new and yummy recipes. I hope you enjoy this one and I would love you to share your own combinations.
