Oven Toasted Granola with Fresh Blueberries
“Homemade granola is always great to have on hand for a quick go-to breakfast or even as a late-night snack that is low in sodium and naturally sweet enough to satisfy your cravings. Most store-bought granola tends to be too hard and crunchy and has a packaged taste with a lot less flavor,” Chef Megan explains. It can be so easy to put together a great combination of your favorite ingredients to make a simple “craveable” food thus making it it easier to maintain a healthy and satisfying everyday eating lifestyle.
