Have you tried five:am Granola?  Try our Granola Muffins

I was sent some Granola from Five:am to try, Have you tired them ? 

I love their Yoghurts but didn’t even know they had Granola.

Its only a 450gm box which is fine for one person but for a couple or more i think a bigger box could be a better idea. 

They are certainly tasty and full of all good stuff - in fact pop over to their website and have a look around its a great site with lots of interesting information.

I tested the Honey and Cinnamon Granola bars recipe on their website which was great.

I did double the coconut oil and the Malt Syrup because the first batch i made using this recipe didn’t mold well.   I also added 3 tablespoons of Chia seeds and exchanged the prunes for Mixed Dry Fruits.  Tasty and Easy Bars to make.

I also used the Honey and Cinnamon Granola and made Granola Muffins. 

These are easier for me to eat on the run or throw to a kid in the car on the way to somewhere. I've made a couple of batches of these now and I will certainly be making them again.  These are a filling dense muffin to get you going for the morning not a light and fluffy cake. I was  surprised how filling they are! Makes 12 large muffins.
