Granola is something I enjoy making. Making homemade granola is wonderful because you know exactly what goes in to it. You know how much sugar you add and how much oil there is. The ingredients are no secret.
Yogurt and granola is one of my favorite breakfasts and snacks. Or I just eat by the handful.
SERIOUSLY. It's kinda dangerous because before I know it I will have eaten the entire container.
Nothing like a belly full of granola.
Starting to boil...
Look at that melted sugar...
Yum and Yum...
So please, deprive yourself no more...
