Homemade Gluten-Free Granola
This recipe for Gluten-Free Homemade Granola is less sweet than the store bought kind, but it still has a little sweetness to it, meaning it’s not exactly dessert but makes for both a wonderful healthy breakfast or snack. Personally, I make a large batch of this and carry it in snack size Ziploc bags for quick energy on the go. Also makes for the perfect yogurt topping! Your kids will love this too!
