Maple pecan granola

We love this recipe – a favorite at Fairholme Manor in Victoria, BC. It’s the perfect start to a cool fall morning, with crunchy oats, nuts, and a hint of sweetness that makes it both delicious and nourishing. Paired with yogurt or milk, it’s a simple, comforting meal that keeps you energized and ready for the day ahead.
