Another home-made staple I am adding to my weekly routine is this recipe for granola. I made my first batch last week and I definitely should have increased the quantity, because it was gone in a jiffy. Great for all ages and so nutritious

Pop these in a big bowl of cereal, Greek yogurt or eat it as a snack. Adapted recipe from cookieandkate.
