Gotta Have Granola

Warming, toasty and ultra-comforting, homemade granola is the perfect snack, yogurt parfait topping or applesauce mix-in. Prep could not be more simple. A great option for those long wintry weekends when you are hanging at home, as baking time is long but mostly passive. To make this version gluten-free, substitute additional whole oats for wheat germ (affiliate link), and for a nut-free granola, use raw pumpkin seeds instead of pecans. Enjoy!
