If ever there was a time for comfort food, (as opposed to comfort eating,) it is probably now, battered by the elements, courtesy of various storms and stubbornly low temperatures, I want a healthy, but robust breakfast in the morning and a tasty dessert in the evening. Yes, even during the week.

Fortunately, Lizi’s Low Sugar Nuts & Seeds Granola is capable of fulfilling both of these demands

With less than 2g of sugar per 50g serving, this granola is perfect for anyone trying to keep their sugar intake low this Winter, without having to compromise on taste and texture. In fact, had I not read the label, I would not be aware of this, as it was so well balanced even to my sweet tooth.

Lizi’s Granola is full of pecans, almonds, toasted oats, and sunflower, pumpkin seeds and desiccated coconut, presenting a bowl full of flavour without sacrificing nutrition.

Bake it in the oven for a warming bowl of happiness on a dark morning, or simply top with a favourite yoghurt for a quick fix before the morning commute.

The versatility of this Granola really comes to the fore when making a quick and easy recipe for Maple baked Pears with Granola Crumb. Pears baked in the oven with Maple syrup, butter and topped with granola crumb can be prepared and on the table within 40 minutes and that includes the 10 minutes preparation time.

So, whilst the cold weather persists, and even when it gets better this hot dessert accompanied with crème fraiche or sour cream will certainly fill the gap.

Lizi’s Breakfast Range is available from Waitrose, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Ocado, Asda, Morrisons, Whole Foods, Co-Op, Booths and all good health stores.
