Do you have a favorite granola? Is is store bought or homemade? I love granola! And, I love this Maple Coconut Granola Recipe. The great thing about making your own is that you can put just about anything in it you want. I happened to have some dried cranberries and these slivered almonds in my pantry, so that was today’s combination (along with the coconut of course).
I have three favorite ways of eating granola. In a bowl with milk. As a parfait with vanilla yogurt and fresh fruit. And, just plain, by the handful. How about you? What’s your favorite way to eat granola?
