Tuesday Home Made Granola


I love granola. This recipe is a wonderful. You can make substitutions to use things that you have on hand. Walnuts and pecans were in the freezer that were purchased after Christmas. I didn't have almonds, so I left them out.


You may be able to find honey, raisins, sunflower seeds, and maple syrup at your local Dollar Store.
This makes a very large container of granola. It is really good!
