Stove Top Granola

This is a unique recipe for granola as it contains no oil or honey. I like to mix this granola into yogurt for breakfast or sprinkle it over ice cream for dessert. I am sure you could make it into granola bars with the addition of some oil and honey. This recipe is from Mollie Katzen
