It was always a special treat when my mother would make homemade granola. Over the years I have carefully tasted each recipe to see if it resembled my mother's. After trying out many different recipes, I've found one that I like, and it is not very difficult to make. The added plus for me, is that it keeps me feeling full all the way till lunch (that doesn't happen very often).
My kids love the cereal and it keeps them full all morning long! |
