CRUNCHY AND DELICIOUS GRANOLA

Crunchy and Delicious Granola image

After searching for a healthier granola recipe, I tweaked a few to lessen the sugar. I use seeds instead of nuts due to allergies. Still very crunchy, delicious, and satisfying! Change the dried fruit to fit your tastes (blueberries, cherries, cranberries, apricots, etc.).

I'm a huge fan of crunchy granola breakfast cereals, but wanted to make my own so I could change it up now and again. Makes a great addition to yogurt or topping for ice cream.

QUICK 'N' CRUNCHY GRANOLA

Quick 'n' Crunchy Granola image

Granola is my family's favorite cereal but we rarely buy it from the store because it's so expensive. So I decided to try and make my own. We will never buy granola from the store again! This is so easy and delicious; everyone should try it! Some of my family members mix in raisins or almonds just before eating (no need to bake them.) But remember you MUST STIR the granola after it bakes for 10 minutes. I didn't read the recipe carefully and burnt my first batch. Enjoy.;)
