MOM'S SIMPLE GRANOLA
My Mom literally makes this granola every other day. It barely makes it off the cookie sheet before it is gone. Great as a cereal with milk, as a snack, as a topping to yogurt, OR dare I say, a topping to create fruit crisp. I like to make mine with milk chocolate chips or dried cranberries, but you can add any extras you like!

- Bake the granola at a low temperature for a long period of time. This will help to ensure that the granola is evenly browned and crispy.
- Let the granola cool completely before storing it. This will help to prevent the granola from becoming soggy.
