This is the fourth granola recipe that I have made this year. I enjoy making the different flavors and my family loves eating them.
The other flavors that I have made can be found at the links below:
Gingerbread is a favorite flavor at our home. Each and every year we attempt homemade gingerbread cookies and houses.
My favorite morning breakfast is honey greek yogurt with a big scoop of granola sprinkled over the top.
I also enjoy eating the granola as a bowl of cereal.
I added this recipe to Capital Style Magazines list of neighborhood, teacher and friend gifts. I think, in a cellophane bag with a big bow this would make a wonderful homemade treat.
