This long bank holiday weekend has been a busy one at the studio for the LJC team but we have to admit the early morning starts were eased slightly with the aid of our pre-made gluten free granola.  If like us you have a busy week ahead and could use some help kick starting your morning you too can make a tasty batch of granola with our easy to follow recipe below.

Oh and as a prior warning it's really rather addicted...
