Peanut Butter & Hemp Seed Breakfast Granola
This breakfast granola is not only high in fibre and low GI (low-glycemic index), but it also tastes amazing and fills you up! It's rich in omega-3, thanks to the hemp seeds, and has a hint of sweetness from honey. Let's not forget about the plant points! Each portion provides 6 plant points, making it a great way to add more plant-based diversity to your diet. This breakfast granola is lovingly created by Annaleise Collier, an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) and Nutritionist.

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, honey, tahini, and smooth peanut butter. Whisk these ingredients together until they are well combined.

Transfer the granola mixture to a baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Place the dish in your preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown.
