Easy Toss and Bake Granola

Easy Toss-and Bake Granola

Nothing beats a good granola muesli in the morning, cold milk, fresh fruit! It’s the one above all others for me. So after having a the horrific realization of just how much sugar some of the shop bought brands have, so began my hunt for healthy recipes (that still taste good!) this one is a little gem. Easy, tasty, my kind of yum!!
