Leah is famous in our home for making the absolute best granola. She lovingly makes large batches, stores it in mason jars and gives it to all her siblings. It is so delicious you want to eat it all day long! We like to put it on cereal, almond yogurt, oatmeal, coconut ice cream and of course by itself! It is packed with so many good things, your body will thank you. Have fun and if you have a granola recipe of your own, please share in the comments below!
