Breakfast Thermomix Granola Clusters

Breakfast Thermomix Granola Clusters

I love breakfast… in fact it’s probably my favourite meal of the day. When I was younger I would often skip breakfast – now I have no idea how I ever did that (perhaps because i was young!). If I didn’t eat breakfast I do not think that i would survive the day. Breakfast in my house is a big deal! My favourite things to make is a big batch of homemade granola, when my Thermomix is not doing something else. These breakfast Thermomix Granola Clusters are delicious, make them this weekend, you will make them again and again and again.

Usually a make a batch of this on the weekend and it keeps us going throughout the whole week. It will last for weeks in an airtight container at room temperature which is super handy. It’s also cheaper than buying the granola clusters from the supermarket.

I like to sprinkle a handful of clusters over my yoghurt in the morning, or add some milk and sliced fruit to it. It’s so lovely and seriously takes no time at all to make. I love to add dried cranberries to my granola, but you can use any dried or fresh fruit you like – or leave it out altogether!

Delicious. Simple. Easy… that’s what Thermomixing cooking is all about! Is it not?
