This granola is perfect for a healthy breakfast with non-dairy milk or just eating as a snack. It’s crunchy, gluten-free, and deliciously tasty! The best part, it is so easy to prepare, much cheaper than store-made with less sugar and naturally sweetened. It also stores beautifully, and we always keep it in our pantry.
