Goji Berry and Pistachio Granola

I like granola.

Mini chefs like granola.

You get where I am going with this right?

When nu3 got in touch and asked me to try their goji berries in a recipe my first thought was hmmmmmm granola. Immediately followed by pistachio, pistachio, pistachio.

So I made a half batch to test it out. Mini chefs and I sat down on the kitchen floor with teaspoons and munched, and crunched and munched and picked every last oat flake and goji berry out of the baking tray. We did not even reach for the yoghurt. How is that for a good breakfast?

I had to make a second batch to photograph.

And an extra bonus is that I managed to get some antioxidants and vitamin A into the kiddoes via these berries.  No bribery involved.

So do try this goji berry and pistachio granola recipe and leave me a comment to let me know what goji berry recipes you have up your sleeve.
