Nothing like a simple homemade granola to fill the house with wonderful welcome home aromas! This granola is not too sweet, so you can just enjoy it plain or add some dried fruit to it, if you like it a little sweeter. It’s filled with oats, walnuts and almonds so it is rich in protein, fiber and healthy oils. Perfect for breakfast with fresh fruit and yogurt, but remember, because it is calorie dense (albeit full of nutrients) a little goes a long way, so I recommend the serving size not be any higher than 1/2 cup, which I think is the perfect amount anyway! It’s so yummy, I just don’t want you to overeat it…because you'll want to!
