I love granola! I love making it for my family and friends. I came upon this recipe when I was searching for some recipes for a special shower I was hosting at my house for a friend of mine who was a surrogate mother for her dear cousin. One special gal! So I wanted this shower to be simple yet have a variety. I made several homemade granolas and this one took the prize. It is more like a treat than it is a tree hugging "granola" snack. Probably why everyone devoured it. Its a keeper for sure!
