This was my morning snack mixed with yogurt. It is has a nice crunch. I really like this because it is easy to put together, it is lower in fat than alot of granola. I used the walnuts and cranberries. I was running low on wheat germ so I flipped the amounts of oat bran and wheat germ. Something I will do again.
