Once you make homemade granola with berries you can never go back to store bought.  It is melt-in-your-mouth good! Ben has a soft spot for granola over yogurt so he was especially excited to see me experimenting in the kitchen with this recipe.  The added bonus was that the recipe was a hit with my kids too!  It’s is super simple and leaves the most delicious aroma throughout your house while it’s baking. Also, it looks pretty in a mason jar (and delicious it’s over ice cream).

I’ve already made this recipe three times in the last month.  We love enjoying the granola and fruit over yogurt with agave drizzled over the top. It also tastes amazing like a bowl of cereal or mixed in with ice cream.
