Why You Will Love This Recipe
Healthy, simple ingredients – most granolas you buy off a shelf have seed oils and other ingredients to make it last longer, but when it’s homemade you know all the ingredients! And I bet you already have most of them in your pantry.
Easy to make – your little kids can help you measure!
Budget friendly — granola in a bakery or store, especially made & bought in small batch, is expensive. Making your own only saves you money!
