Honey Nut Granola
A hearty honey nut granola loaded with oats, pecans, almonds, coconut, blueberries, cranberries, cinnamon, and vanilla. Serve with milk, yogurt, or ice cream.
I make a new batch of homemade granola every few weeks since we all love it, especially with our yogurt! This time I switched it up a bit by using honey as the sweetener instead of maple syrup and added the last of our dried blueberries and dried cranberries. I also threw in some coconut, cinnamon, and vanilla because we love it. We all think this easy honey nut granola recipe is a keeper!
