Grandma's Homemade Granola

Grandma's Homemade Granola

My grandmother and I created this homemade granola recipe one day. It is currently loved and requested by the rest of my family, including my other grandma, who used to be anti-granola! My favorite ways to serve it are with coconut Greek yogurt or just in a bowl with milk. It’s simple and awesome.
