Packed with fiber and nutrients, granola makes the perfect breakfast or snack. Plus, it looks so cute stored in a glass jar! What we’re going to share isn’t a recipe, but a formula with potentially hundreds of variations. At the end, you can add whatever else you like: nuts, dried fruit, etc. So start creating your own granola yumminess!
