I usually make porridge for breakfast, which I can share with my kids (or rather kid - only one of them will actually eat porridge).
Granola is another favourite.
However, I really don't like shop bought granola - am I alone in just finding it far too sweet?
Homemade granola is so much better in my opinion and I hope that if you try this vegan cranberry, almond and cinnamon granola you'll agree!
How to serve granola
This cranberry, almond and cinnamon granola is delicious served with vegan yoghurt (I prefer coconut) and raspberries as pictured.
But there's many other ways you can serve granola. Here are some ideas:
- As a porridge topping to add a little crunch and sweetness.
- For a snack, with a drizzle of tahini or nut butter.
- In a lunchbox.
- Eaten with a spoon straight from the jar.
- Some people eat it with milk, like breakfast cereal too.

How to make cranberry, almond and cinnamon granola
Making your own vegan granola is easier than you might think.
It really is just a case of mixing everything - apart from the dried fruit - together and baking slowly on a low heat.
It's also important to let the granola cool completely on the baking tray before removing.
This will help it stick together in those lovely sweet clusters.
