Making your own Easy Homemade Granola involves just a few steps!
Those packages of granola at the grocery store that are priced at $7-8 for an 8 ounce a bag are convenient but expensive and can be loaded with a lot of sugar and unhealthy oils.
Why buy when it’s super easy to make it at home? When I mean easy, its EASY as 1-2-3. Seriously! Just 3 main ingredients (plus any mix-ins you want) and you have a tray of Easy Homemade Granola in no time.
I turned to my friends over at Bob’s Red Mill because I know they have good quality products and grabbed the gluten-free Old Fashioned Rolled Oats that costs less than $8 for a 32-ounce bag. That one giant bag of oats costs as much as that tiny bag of store-bought granola!
You really save a lot of money by making your own granola and you can mix in any dried fruit, nuts and seeds that your tummy and palate desire!
