Home Made Granola Christmas Tradition


Every Christmas my mom would make granola to give as gifts. Mostly her brothers loved her granola, and she made it for them. We always had some for ourselves, and she usually gave some away to other people as well.

When we went away to college, you could usually expect at least one care package to have a container of granola. Or if my parents came to visit us, they would sometimes bring along a container of the rolled oats goodness.

I have bought a lot of granola in the stores, and found a close match once, but that kind has since been discontinued.

After comparing the actual recipe to the one my mom uses, she cuts back a lot on the sugar, so it really is a pretty healthy treat for breakfast.

The only thing about the granola, after eating it a month straight, you're ready to move on to another breakfast item...

I made granola for the first time by myself this year. You can find the recipe HERE on my other blog.
