Toasted ANZAC Granola
The Australia and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZACs) served with distinction in the First World War, sustained in their bitter Gallipoli campaign by ANZAC 'biscuits' - a hard cookie - sent from home. We've taken that recipe and used it as an inspiration for this hearty breakfast - powered by oats, nuts and fruit and, motivated by ANZAC spirit, you'll be ready to take on the day.
