Homemade Granola Recipe
Homemade Vanilla Granola smells so good when it’s baking thanks to a touch of cinnamon–but you’ll love the end result even more.
This easy granola recipe is yours to tweak! An old favorite from one of those large recipe websites (maybe Food.com?), feel free to add your own dried fruits or other spin. If you do, you’ll wait to stir it in at the end so they do not dry out.
I love this as a dry snack. I love this with a bowl of milk. I even love this crumbled up and thrown on the top of vanilla ice cream! See what I mean? Not only is it versatile, but it’s so good that it brings out your inner Dr. Seuss!
