Granola has always been one of my favorite snacks, but it's so expensive to buy in the store!!! And, my biggest issue is that there is always dried fruit in it. I don't know why, but dried fruit kind of freaks me out. I would much rather have granola full of nuts and maple syrup.So, I did what I normally do in those situations, and started mixing random things together and baking them to see what would happen. Eventually, I nailed it.
