One of my favorite go to recipes! My whole family loves it and I love how quick, easy and adaptable the recipe is. I often modify this recipe to fit what I have on hand at the time I am making a batch. I have used only honey and no agave, I have used all maple syrup in place of honey and agave, I have added cinnamon and cardamom, I have used a variety of nuts and seeds (again depending on what was in my cabinet at the time I was making a batch). This can be used as a granola that I can grab on the go with a piece of fruit or I can put in a bowl and pour “milk” over it to eat as bowl of cereal topped with fruit like blueberries, strawberries or banana. For “milk”, I use almond or coconut milk. Also I like to store the granola/ cereal in the refrigerator, make it crunchier, more like granola or cereal! Another adaptation for this recipe is I can add it to baked or sauteed apples for an “apple pie” fix. Truly a versatile recipe that the whole family will enjoy!
