Easter egg crunch
Josh Eggleton presents an Easter recipe with a difference, serving a homemade maple, nut and seed granola in a makeshift Easter egg bowl. An unusual way to enjoy the traditional chocolate overload at Easter, this recipe would make a slightly indulgent, but incredibly fun, family breakfast for Easter Sunday.
