Granola

Submitted by Christine L.

"A delicious, healthy breakfast cereal. My family really likes this combination, but you can start with the oatmeal, and add or omit ingredients, or adjust the amounts as you wish. Browse the bulk store for other healthy, interesting additions! Use raw ingredients, as you will roast the granola. Serve with milk, yoghurt, dried or fresh fruit."
