Homemade Garnola
For the longest, I have been telling myself that I was going
to make homemade granola. I love the way it taste, and I also love how versatile
it is, you can have it with milk, yogurt or as something to snack on throughout
the day...For some reason, I kept on running out of the ingredients, first it
was honey and then it was the oats. Out of the blue, looked up a recipe and
made it. If I had nuts on hand, I would have added them; however, I was not running
back to the store. I found this recipe to be super yummy, and would also be
wonderful for a family that is on the go. You can divide portions in the snack
size bags and put them in the freezer, and it is ready for you the next day or
when you need them.
