home-made granola
It wasn't too long ago that I had some store bought granola and put it on my yogurt, it was delicious, but it was so expensive. I thought, "Hey! I can make that!" And that's what we've got here. You guys, this really is such a game changer, and you will never buy granola from the store again. And the best part is, you control what goes in it. Make this now, and make it your own, and use whatever ingredients you want. Enjoy it as a snack or use as your morning cereal for breakfast. Add it to your yogurt, top your nice cream. Home-made granola is such a game changer that you will never buy store bought again.
