I’ve been playing around with granola recipes for a while, looking for high nutrition and low calories, but also great taste! There have been about four fails so far, but thankfully, we can eat just about anything so nothing has been wasted.
This recipe though…
Mmmmm… This one is not a fail! 😉
High protein, no processed sugar or flour. Well, except for the coconut. When I got home and realized the bag was sweetened coconut, GAH! I used it anyway. Another trip to the grocery store was not happening on that particular day!
