Homemade Granola

You might ask what is the point of making homemade granola if you can just buy it? My answer to that is 1. You can change up any granola recipe and make it your favorite 2. It lasts forever and 3. It just tastes better. I make a big batch of this about once a month and I eat it almost every day. My usual combination is using it as a topping on my favorite vanilla nonfat Greek yogurt. 

I want you to try this recipe. I promise you'll like it more than any store bought granola you can find!
