I was at the grocery store this past weekend, down the cereal and grains aisle trying to pick up some granola for my yogurt parfaits this week. I was so disappointed in the lack of selection for granola. Maybe it’s supply chain issues which makes up the lack of selection, but nothing looked like a great granola to add to my yogurt. So that’s when it occurred to me to make my own. I’m not sure why I haven’t been making homemade granola but it’s so easy! This batch makes enough for a week and it tastes amazing! Ingredients that you have on hand, you know what’s going in and so addicting. This granola can be eaten straight off the pan (which I’m guilty for), its thats good! If you are also disappointed in the granola options lately, try making this recipe! You’ll be addicted just like me!
