Homemade Granola
Made from scratch, this granola uses minimally processed, whole ingredients at a fraction of the cost of store-purchased granola. It’s so easy to make and is perfect for allergy-conscious parents who are struggling with a nut-free option. Replace the coconut oil with any other type of oil that fits your allergy needs such as olive oil for a more savory flavor, or butter for a richer flavor. Experiment with optional mix-ins such as seeds, nuts and dried fruits.
