Granola always makes for a healthy and tasty snack or for a hearty breakfast with yogurt. The possibilities of adding granola to many recipes is nearly endless!
The difference between making your own granola over store bought is it has No preservatives, no artificial flavors and not artificial sweeteners this is all-natural granola!
The other great thing about making your own granola is you can experiment creating unique recipes that please your own taste buds. For example you could mix in some chocolate chips to add a little sweetness. You could use maple syrup instead of honey to make it a vegan recipe and so many other possibilities.
