 I am so glad I found this recipe. I LOVE granola, whether it is for breakfast or for a snack, I could eat it all day everyday. It's tasty with yogurt, almond milk or just on it's own. And my kids are hooked too! But it is hard to find a good granola that doesn't cost a small fortune that is also fairly healthy. A lot of them have tons of sugar added. I found this recipe in the FRESH cookbook, adapted from the FRESH restaurants in Toronto, ON. Enjoy! I have yet to make it for someone who hasn't LOVED it!
