Cook's Note
For breakfast, enjoy this granola with milk or sprinkle it on cottage cheese or yogurt. For a snack, cut an apple or banana in half, spread with peanut butter, then add granola. You can also use the granola as a topping for ice cream or frozen yogurt or add it to a fruit salad.
My family loves this granola, especially my kids; I love how easy it is to make. I usually also add walnuts and pecans, as well as, dried cherries or cranberries. We all love it over our homemade greek-style yogurt - delicious!
Tasty and easy to make! I love the flavor from toasting the ingredients.
