TOASTED OATS GRANOLA CEREAL (gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free)

SIMPLE HEALTHY TOASTED OATS GRANOLA

An easy healthy toasted oats cereal to have as granola with yogurt and fruit

I love a quick breakfast, especially when it’s mostly pre-prepped already. So this toasted oats cereal is perfect for me – it’s a somewhere in between a cereal and granola, but it’s just a very simple version.

I love having some in the morning with plain coconut yogurt (you can use dairy yogurt too, or any yogurt you prefer), fresh fruit, nuts and honey. My absolute favorite breakfast combination for this oat cereal is pink lady apple chopped up with fresh raspberries and dry roasted almonds (imagine that trio served on top of toasted oats and plain yogurt… Yum!).

This toasted oats recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free and refined sugar-free. It’s also full of healthy fibre and good whole carbs.

I hope you love it as much as I do!
