I have been trying to eat healthier and adding yogurt to my morning has been great – except that I needed something with a little crunch on it. Rather than go buy a bunch of granola, I decided to make my own. And its delicious!

You can easily substitute things out – If you don’t want to use pecans and almonds, use whatever nuts you like best. Dislike chocolate? Don’t use any. Want a different flavor? Use pecan syrup or hickory syrup. Add any dried fruits you like. It really has lots of ways to dress it up and make it your own.
