This Maple Granola Recipe is easy to make.
This is a delicious blend of oats, nuts, fruit and sweetened lightly by maple syrup.
I love this recipe so much that I shared it in my cookbook, The Complete Cookbook for Teens.
This granola makes a wonderful snack or breakfast (add your milk of choice and maybe some fresh fruit).
It makes a great homemade gift.
Once you try homemade granola, you won’t go back to store-bought granola.
It’s so much better!
Briana says, “I don’t actually eat much granola… so I gave this to my mom tonight… she SAID it smelled yummy and she couldn’t wait to eat it though.. ;-)
