#itsprocessoverproduct chocolate granola oats

For your yogurt or cereal or on the go! This version isn't too sweet.

We don't like the sweet versions of granola so I played and tweaked and made my own:-)

I found a couple of basic granola recipes in my cook books and did some experimenting by combining them until I got something I liked. With this recipe, you can do a lot of customizing with the types of fruits, nuts, and seeds you use. It would also serve as a basic recipe to go off of if you want to try some new flavor combos on your own!

My homemade granola. Easy and delicious!

For my usual breakfasts, I rotate between smoothies, oatmeal and granola. I don't like to buy pre-packaged granola though and this is my latest variation. It's sweet (but not too sweet) and slightly tart. Any dried fruit can be substituted for the dried cranberries, I'm just a big fan of the cranberries.

Nutritious and easy

Granola is one of those foods that is expensive to buy, but super easy to make. And you can make it to your liking - add nuts or fruit, maple syrup or honey, a variety of spices. Don't be afraid to experiment. All measurements are subject to your preference.
