How To Make Homemade Granola

0 comments

Have you ever made homemade granola? I used to make it all the time, but I had honestly forgotten about it until the other day, and man, I forgot how delicious it is. Whether it’s grabbing a handful, adding it to yogurt, or pouring yourself a bowl of homemade granola cereal, it’s filling and delicious. Plus, you only need a few ingredients and about 30 minutes to make your own homemade granola.

The recipe doesn’t call for it, but I added a few handfuls of chocolate chips to some of my granola. Two thumbs up👍!
