The Great Granola Discovery


What have I been missing out on?! Why haven't I tried this before? Granola Has It All!

Granola has all the makings for a complete perfect breakfast! Carbs, proteins, healthy fats! Plus fruit, calcium and tons of vitamins and minerals. I am so pumped because there are tons of options here to customize it, make it more healthy and make it kid friendly.

I just pulled this from the oven. mmmmmm.....Warm, chewy and super easy! I hope it lasts until the kids get up!
