This granola is made with all natural ingredients which is a HUGE bonus! In fact, I picked up almost all of them from Aldi making it wallet friendly too! I hate reading the ingredients on something and not being able to pronounce them. The other fun thing about granola is you really can’t mess it up. Add in something you love like dried apples, or raisins, or leave out something you don’t care for. Granola is totally customizable which is half of the fun of making it.
