Crunchy and Delicious Granola image

After searching for a healthier granola recipe, I tweaked a few to lessen the sugar. I use seeds instead of nuts due to allergies. Still very crunchy, delicious, and satisfying! Change the dried fruit to fit your tastes (blueberries, cherries, cranberries, apricots, etc.).

This granola recipe was a hit in my household! It was crunchy and had just the right amount of sweetness. I added some dried cranberries and chopped walnuts for extra flavor and texture. It was delicious on its own or with milk or yogurt.
