Festive Fruit and Nut Granola

This festive fruit and nut granola has it all. It tastes like Christmas in a bowl. It’s got the roasted nuts, the spices and the dried fruit.

While the oats act as the base of the granola, the buckwheat kernels (or buckini), cashews and almonds give this granola its crunchy texture. The spices and dried fruit are responsible for making this granola taste festive and Christmassy. However, I think the star of this granola is the orange juice, which the granola is tossed in before baking. The orange juice gives this granola some extra sweetness and floral aromas.

The granola itself is really easy to prepare and doesn’t take a lot of time either. I love serving my granola with coconut yoghurt, a bit of oat milk as well as some fresh orange.

Oh, and if you’re after more granola recipes, check out my Double Chocolate Granola. So delicious and chocolate-y! And if you are looking for more festive breakfasts, make sure to give this Christmas Birchermuesli a try.
