About a year ago, Beth inspired me to make granola and I’ve been whipping up different kinds of granolas ever since. This one is a simple, easy recipe that uses ingredients that I usually have in my pantry. If you haven’t made homemade granola before give it a try. You’ll be amazed how much better it is than granola you buy in the store.
I usually make a double batch and give one batch a way. It makes a great, healthy gift for a neighbor or a friend. If I’m baking a double batch I cook it for 10 minutes longer.
