Swimsuit season is right around the corner. And as good as cinnamon rolls and cookies taste for breakfast and snacks, they don’t look great on your hips. Lighter fare that takes advantage of seasonal fruit is an easy swap. Especially when it’s fast, fresh, and satisfying. There are so many trendy juice and smoothie bars here in San Diego where I live and while I love them, I draw that line at paying $10 bucks for a small bowl of yogurt, fruit, and granola.
I can make my own for a fraction of the cost and in mere minutes. And so can you. To make the easy granola, I tossed a diced Thomas’ Light Multi-Grain English Muffin with oats, a bit of melted butter, cinnamon and sugar, and baked it briefly.
The granola is much lighter than most because there’s only 100 calories in the English muffin. I love granola but it can be a calorie-bomb if you’re not careful.
This recipe provides the heartiness of granola without the heaviness, fat, or calories and it’s ready in less than 15 minutes. Perfect warmer-weather comfort food that’s bikini-friendly and great for breakfasts and snacks.
