This is a SUPER easy recipe and LOVE letting my kids help me make this! They LOVE to help me bake and cook! You can do a couple different things with this one. You can add it to vanilla ice cream, baked apples/pears/peaches, yogurt, the possibilities are endless! ;o) I also use this granola to make granola bars too! Yummy!!! They are so much more healthy for you than store bought and really are super easy to make!

I use a HUGE bowl that my parents got me many years ago. I LOVE using it and it's great for when the kids stir!!! :O) Also, you can add other things to this recipe. Like coconut, dried apricots, dried apples, dried cranberries, dried strawberries. Like I said, the possibilities are endless for this recipe!! I am going to dry some apples and do apples and raisins and then make granola bars with that combo. This is great in the morning with cold milk over it! Man, making me hungry, gonna have to go and eat some now!
ENJOY!!!!!!
