In an effort to feed my family more healthy less processed foods, I decided to give this granola recipe a shot. I love granola. I love it with milk in the morning but I especially love it by the hand full...:>)! This recipe is OMG awesome!! It smelled so wonderful as it was baking away in the oven. So good that I couldn't wait for a taste as soon as I pulled it out of the oven. It was delightful! I only made one change to the original recipe. I omitted the wheat germ because I did not have any.
I now have a full gallon zipper bag of the most delicious granola at my eating whim. My girls have a healthy snack without the added preservatives and chemicals. You MUST give this a try if you heart granola.
Enjoy!
