Homemade granola is such a great breakfast food and is also really good for a quick snack with yogurt and fresh fruit. It's a snap to make and stores really well. I love this recipe as you can make so many changes and additions to it and it will turn out amazing every time. There are a ton of flavour combinations that you can use, including: dried fruit such as, cranberries, apples, apricots, blueberries, raisins, and cherries. Nuts such as, almonds, pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts, peanuts, cashews, and macadamia nuts are all delicious.
