Christmas recipe: Homemade granola to give as a gift

We can all agree that crunchy homemade muesli tastes great and is also a nice idea for a more personal Christmas gift. Children also have a lot of fun making the muesli and decorating it. The preparation is easy and quick, so it's also a perfect last minute gift. 

Scarlett from @forkandflower shows you how it's done:
