HAZELNUT CHOCOLATE CURRANT AND CRANBERRY GRANOLA

HOMEMADE GRANOLA. If you thought granola was addicting before…

This is one of those recipes that I love because you can really make it your own. I love it the way I wrote it below but really, play with it! Add your own fixings. Go raisins instead of dried cranberries. Add in some chopped up dried apricots and or dried cherries. Whatever flavor your feeling, go for it! It’s a simple recipe that will make you happy every single time you sit down to eat that once upon a time was super boring yogurt.
