Homemade Granola
If you’ve never made homemade granola before, you need to give this a go! Once you try this homemade granola, I bet you won’t go back to store-bought! It’s so easy, so delicious, and healthy since it’s naturally sweetened, and made with oats and unrefined oils!
It’s so simple and you’re likely to have most if not all ingredients in your pantry!
