On a trip to London, my breakfast at The Brown’s Hotel became a highlight. While my first day featured a classic full English, Gail’s choice of baked granola with yogurt and fresh berries caught my eye. One stolen bite later, I knew my next morning’s order.
Back home, I recreated the magic—a perfectly balanced mix of crunchy oats, sweet dates, and nutty richness, baked to golden perfection. Served with a dollop of Greek yogurt and fresh berries, it’s a taste of London mornings, no passport required.
