The Anatomy of Homemade Granola

Vanessa of De Su Mama decided that instead of creating a step-by-step of how she made her granola she would document what goes into granola and let everyone work with what they like best. In her post Vanessa not only describes what usually goes into making granola but also gives us tips and descriptions for what works best. Then, it’s up to you and your niños to decide what will go in it!
