Homemade Granola

I just love how easy this comes together! My all time favorite breakfast (yogurt parfait) and this as the topping starts my morning on a positive note of good health. Most store bought granola is loaded with sugar. It great when we have control of how much sugar we choose to consume. This is also why it is best to buy plain yogurts and sweeten yourself. Take control of your health!
