Granola has always been one of my favorite cereals!  It is delicious in the morning with milk and it is delicious on top of yogurt.  My kids love granola too!  But store-bought granola, especially the good stuff, can get really expensive.  I never thought to make it myself until a good friend brought me over some as a gift!  And then I became hooked!  Ever since, I have made my own granola.  It is simple to make and very cost effective plus it is oh-so-delicious!

Granola also makes unique and tasty gifts and you can customize this recipe to suite your own tastes if coconut doesn't peak your interest.

    Ya know, I never thought of making my own granola. You're right about how delicious it is but so costly. I can't wait to give this a try. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
