Old Fashioned Granola

This is one of my favorite granola recipes. It’s quick and simple. My old friend Kathy from back east gave me this recipe over 15 years ago. Try it with some yogurt or almond milk.

 

Because it seems to disappear so quickly in my house, I usually make a double batch. Have fun with it by adding your own favorite nuts and spices.

• 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
