Teenie Notes
  • Like most granola, this is very versatile. Suggestions to add-ins: Dried apricots, dried figs, sunflower seeds, coconut, walnuts, sesame seeds, pepitas, dried apples, chocolate chips, dried bananas, dried mangoes, macadamia pieces, etc.
  • Look for an organic, unsweetened puffed wheat cereal that is fat, sugar and sodium free.
  • Make if vegetarian or vegan friendly by substituting the butter for a complimentary oil or using vegan butter.
