Best Ever Homemade Granola - look no further! This is the best homemade granola recipe you will ever find

Looking for the best ever homemade granola?  Look no further! This is the best homemade granola recipe you will ever find!

Best Ever Homemade Granola in a glass gar

I absolutely love granola.  But, I don’t love its price tag.  I can’t believe how expensive it is in the stores.  So I scoured the internet.  There are thousands of granola recipes out there.  But, I couldn’t find one that wowed me.  So, I took a bit of this one and a little of that one and compiled my own recipe.

This recipe turned out perfect!  A little crunchy, a little chewy, a little sweetness…bliss!  Since I concocted this recipe, I’ve made at least one batch every week.  Some weeks I make 2 or 3 batches.  It’s greatly mixed in with yogurt.  Or, in a bowl with some milk.  Or, just by itself.

Each time I make it, though, I add something different.  I’ve used dried blueberries, dried pomegranates, dried cherries, walnuts…whatever I have handy.  It’s all great!
