Super Simple Granola Bar Recipe
I love all of the fun and obscure national days that are celebrated throughout the year. Granola was originally invented in 1863 and has since become a household staple for many in its various forms. Granola is one of my favorite snack options or additions to breakfast foods! The crunch and the natural sweetness can take whatever you are eating to the next level of flavor and texture. For example, I love to add granola to Greek yogurt, oatmeal, ice cold milk, or even vanilla ice cream. Did you know crumbled granola or granola in bar form is easy to prepare right at home?
