Trail Mix Granola image

I was on the look for a granola that my family would like. I was tired of buying expensive store bought stuff full of un-natural ingredients. I found several recipes and decided to combine them to create a cereal (yogur mix-n) my family would enjoy. This isn't too sweet and is just perfect for my family.
