Healthy Homemade Granola

I am always looking for a healthy snack to have on hand. Those hunger attacks seem to sneak up on me at the most inconvenient times! So, I feel the need to be prepared. 🙂 I love granola because I can pack some in a bag and munch on it plain or pair it with yogurt. However, most granola is either high in sugar or fat, or both. This granola is perfect for me because it isn’t high in either but it still have that nice sweet and nutty flavor that I love!

Fill some containers for the week.
