A breakfast classic.
Growing up, Damon and I both loved cereal, and we’ve definitely passed that love on to our children. As we’ve transitioned away from most processed foods, we still needed an easy breakfast option for those mornings when things don’t go as planned.
This granola has become a staple in our kitchen. It’s so very good, and this recipe—made with bulk ingredients—keeps it affordable as well. The hearty goodness of grains, nuts, seeds, and dried fruit helps you start your day off nutritionally strong.
I prefer mine with yogurt and fresh fruit, while Damon enjoys it the traditional way, with cold milk like a classic breakfast cereal. Whatever your favorite breakfast looks like—whether it’s egg bakes, bakery-style cinnamon rolls, or something quick on the go—this granola is a wonderful option to have on hand.
