I’m thrilled to share one of my all-time favorite and most requested recipes – homemade granola. It’s crunchy, full of protein, healthy, and absolutely delicious.
Yogurt, blackberries and homemade granola, is a morning favorite for me. The house we bought already had blackberry bushes growing in the backyard. So what a delightful surprise it was to have these lovely berries available to us. Even better is this great Granola recipe to go along with them. Not only is it ridiculously easy to make, but the aroma that fills your kitchen as it bakes is simply irresistible. Plus, you can customize it to suit your taste buds and dietary preferences. Let’s dive right in!
What ingredients you’ll need to get started;
I whipped up some homemade granola today and I couldn’t wait to share the recipe with you. It has rolled oats, specifically Bob’s Red MIll oats. It’s non-GMO, organic, and stays crunchy chewy when you cook it. I love the quality and I always keep a bag of Bob’s Red Mill oats in my pantry. I often share a jar of this granola with fiends and family, and for those that need it, it’s great to be able to confidently say, It’s gluten free. This granola also includes nuts, seeds, honey, coconut oil, vanilla, and some shaved coconut flakes. Now, I have this irresistible, golden granola ready to enjoy with yogurt, over ice cream or just by the handful. Super easy, super delicious – give it a try! 😊
