I absolutely love granola in all shapes, sizes and forms. I don’t care if it’s loaded with chocolate or doesn’t have any at all–I will still enjoy it immensely. I actually went through a huge granola phase at one point, so I know all about making A-plus granola that even the kids will enjoy.
Whenever I am looking to make a diy gift that is healthy, saves someone time in the kitchen and nourishes your soul, this is it!
Homemade Granola That’s So Good, It Doesn’t Taste ‘Healthy’
The true test of my cooking is always whether or not my little ones will eat it and how much of it will they eat? With this homemade granola, it never even makes it to the jar, so I can guarantee you that that’s a great sign that your little ones will enjoy it too!
As an added bonus, homemade granola makes for great gifts! Just put the granola in a small mason jar and decorate it, and you’re good to go!
