The Best Simple Granola You'll Ever Eat

I was on the hunt for a granola with no added sugar, which is extremely hard to come by, BUT I have found one and perfected it. This is something we ALWAYS have in our pantry. We will use it on yogurt, on smoothie bowls, with milk, and sometimes I’ll grab a quick handful if I’m hungry!!

What I love about it:

• It is simple and easy to make

• It tastes simple, so can be used on a lot of different things

• NO ADDED SUGAR!!!

• It is a fun way to get a variety of nuts and seeds in

Once you make it, you’ll feel the same :-)

6. Cook for 35-45 minutes total, mixing every 15 minutes. In the final 15 minutes, mix in the raisins.

**You can add the raisins in earlier, we find that they get too hard if they cook the whole time.
