Christmas Granola (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)

Hello everyone, I thought a would share a different seasonal recipe today for Christmas Granola. For those of you that follow the site regularly you will know I love making my own granola and frequently post different granola recipes. This weekend I decided to give my usual gluten free granola a bit of a Christmassy spin and incorporate some seasonal flavours into it – cranberries, oranges and cinnamon. A perfect start to the wintery mornings.
