Homemade Granola

Homemade granola packed with crunchy oats, slivered almonds, cashews, coconut, cinnamon and a medley of dried fruit that is sure to keep you going throughout your day. My family loves to eat granola bars and breakfast bars for a quick and easy breakfast option. This granola is perfect sprinkled over yogurt, eaten by the handful, or even with a splash of milk.

My husband and I do a lot of hiking and camping during the warm summer months and we always have some granola stuffed into our back packs. This granola is perfect when hunger strikes, the sweet and salty combination is always satisfying! I sometimes like to add some M&M’s into the mix as well. 🙂
