I usually don't eat granola because it is so calorie dense. But when I saw a recipe for making it on Snack Girl, I decided to try it. The recipe didn't make a huge batch, and it was low in fats and sugar. It is delicious! I think it will be a winner with my grandchildren.

    Note: Just think of the add-in possibilities: other dried fruit, coconut, marshmallows, mini chips, etc. Just know that some might not be healthy!
