Granola is one of those things that once you start making it homemade – you may just never go back to buying store-bought again! Don’t get me wrong, store-bought granola is great…but it tends to be ultra-processed and loaded with unnecessary preservatives, sugar and oils, and that’s no bueno! Making granola from scratch at home is actually so easy, and it’s so fun to get creative with the flavors. This is my go-to recipe – it’s the perfect combination of salty and sweet. I love using it in yogurt or smoothie bowls! Feel free to use any nuts of your choice – there are no rules here!
