I am a huge fan of breakfast. I cannot miss it and most days my go-to is fruit, Greek yogurt, and granola.

My gorgeous cousin Loren asked for a recipe for Passover so being me, I couldn’t just come up with one.

I created two granolas and they are both so yummy that I cannot pick a favorite.

They are also very different so give them both a try. This one is chunkier nutty granola that is more like brittle. There is also a fruit and nut version that is a little chewier for some variety.

So who says Pesach breakfasts have to be boring? And this pairs so well with the dried fruit compote.

Wishing you a wonderful Passover filled with love, light, and blessings.
