Vanilla Cinnamon Granola

Jump to Recipe

When I need a healthy sweet snack I often reach for a handful of granola and my kids follow suit. Even my toddler asks for it by name, pointing to the jar and saying “Nola, nola”.

You can sub out for different types of nuts or dried fruits.

Need a great little gift idea?
Put it in a nice jar with a cute label or put it in a cellophane bag with a ribbon and this makes a great hostess gift or brunch party favor.
