Homemade granola is a household favorite of ours. We are always coming up with new and different versions….our latest concoction is grain-free and I am in love. Girls were hesitant at first, but then I sprinkled it on some yogurt and they were sold. We also love it as a cereal and mixed with fresh fruit. You could even top vanilla ice cream with it and I guarantee there would be zero complaints.
Our grain-free granola is loaded with protein, healthy fats and omega-3’s, more importantly, it’s NOT loaded with sugar! In fact, you won’t find any sugar added. It’s naturally sweet, as well as nutty, crunchy, and oh so good!
