Anyway, as a matter of fact, it’s one of the few foods my picky toddler adores. “Ga-ah-na!” she cries, several times a day. (She’s also newly obsessed with bacon, which is a story for another day).
We also love homemade granola around here because it’s super easy to make (seriously, it takes all of five minutes from pantry to oven), and it’s so, so, so much cheaper to make it at home than buy it in the store. Plus, you can customize the stuff to your heart’s content. Recently we’ve been big into a combo with coconut, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, and dried blueberries. The version I just pulled out of the oven has brown sugar, vanilla, and tons of almonds.
