Ever since I learned how to make my own granola, I started lovin’♥ it more and so did peanutbutter♥.We still have around three cups of rolled oats sitting in a jar in the kitchen. Rather than see these poor oats go to waste, I decided to make it into this yummy snack.
I have made Granola before and used it to top my yogurts, ate it like popcorn on movie nights and gave it as snack to the then one-year-old Ykaie.
Homemade Granola
You can use a combination of nuts and seeds and dried fruits. Before, I used Pili nuts, Almonds and Sunflower Seeds. For the dried fruits, I used dried Apricots. You can also use pecans, walnuts and dried cranberries. Use whatever tickles your fancy.
