Posted by Lyndi
My husband Dennis has become obsessed with granola lately. Obsessed with shopping for ingredients, obsessed with experimenting with different variations, obsessed with eating it. I am not sure what switch was flipped that caused this recent adoration of the concoction, but I do know that he is obsessed with granola.
The best part is his exclamations “look how inexpensive this is to make!” And now I am going to share with you his base granola recipe that his mom gave to him.
Feel free to make it your own and add by adding all the luscious ingredients that you personally love!

Sweet! My boyfriend loves the store bought stuff, but I am convinced I can make tastier granola myself, even though I have yet to try. This recipe is just the inspiration I need! Thanks for sharing.

You betcha!  I'm excited for you because I know after you make a batch you both will be hooked.  Not only WILL it taste better... for the same price of what he pays for the store bought stuff you will be able to make multiple batches!  Let me know how it goes or if you have any questions along the way!
