You can skip seeds altogether. You can replace honey with maple syrup or any other sweetener of your choice. Skip Granola if you don’t like that. However, the granola would add crunch and flavour bomb to the oats and I would totally recommend it. Choose the nuts you love and get a kickstart to your day.
