Hi guys! It’s Kim, from Soliloquy Of Food & Such. Today I am sharing on of my favorite granola recipes. Granola can be so expensive! This is an easy recipe to save you some moolah…plus, it smells duh-vine whilst baking to golden granola-y perfection.
Once the oats have been thoroughly mixed with the maple syrup coating, press firmly into a baking sheet. Once baked you can then break the granola into chunks, as little or as big as your tree-hugging, granola-loving hearts desire!
I make mine without nuts, but you can add them in if you prefer. Once cooled, throw in a few cups of dried fruit…or just snack on it plain, straight-up.
