This healthy and simple homemade granola has been a staple in our home for years. I usually make it every other weekend so we always have it on hand. We eat it like cereal with milk, top yogurt with it, and eat it plain as a sweet snack. It is such a simple and easy recipe and such a great alternative to store bought cereal and granola that is packed with sugar.
We made this simple homemade granola recipe SO much that we have to buy the giant packs of old fashioned oats at Costco almost every trip.
It makes a great gift for a family who just had a baby, a home warming gift, or just any gift in general! I usually make it and put it in a glass mason jar and it looks so cute! You can download the label here for easy gift giving.
This is also a super simple recipe, so my kids love to help! I have them help me add the ingredients and mix it all together! Added bonus is that it makes your house smell absolutely amazing!
