When it comes to breakfast, let’s just say it’s a hit or miss in my household. It’s either a yes or a no and mostly it’s been a NO for a while now. As much as I know it might be the most important meal of the day, my family is way different and we just don’t have breakfast. This recipe came about after I tried all kinds of meals from sandwiches to pancakes and even cereal but the only time my kids ate something was if it was a cereal bar or munching on this homemade granola, I know, sounds wrong but I had to give it a try. Today I have this simple homemade granola recipe for you. You will need;
