Manuka Honey Breakfast Recipes

Honey can be used in many ways. It can serve as a raw material in the preparation of food, drinks or pastries. But also in direct form as a sandwich spread, on pancakes or in tea. Preferably use a dark spicy type of honey (often cheaper) for biscuits or pastries. This way the fragrant honey flavor penetrates more easily. In addition, biscuits or pastries made with honey remain fresh for longer.

Add this to the dry ingredients and mix. Separate the granola between two baking trays lined with nonstick parchment paper and spread evenly.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely before breaking and store in an airtight jars.

Pour the oil into the cup before using the honey. Quickly pour the honey into the cup that is coated in the oil. Dried fruits can be added to the granola after cooking and cooled completely.
