NOTES : Here is our favorite recipe for homemade granola. You can vary the taste each time by adding different ingredients. We enjoy granola for breakfast as cereal, toppings for fresh fruit bakes, vanilla yogurt, fresh fruit with granola sprinkled on top, and my 4-yr old loves his frozen yogurt cone dipped in it. Yummy!
