Have you ever wanted to make homemade granola before? You should try it! It’s not only healthier but it’s crunchy, sweet, goodness makes you coming back for more! I have made granola for many years and I forget how much better it tastes than the stuff you buy in the bags. The good thing is you can make a large batch in less than 45 minutes and it will last for up to a month on your shelf.
You can also add any flavors or additional ingredients you wish. You can add raisins, Craisins, pecans, chocolate chips (after baking of course), seasonings like nutmeg, allspice, etc. You can make this recipe all your own with ingredients and flavors that you love.
