This is a quick and easy granola recipe that doesn't have a mile-long list of ingredients. The original recipe calls for dried cherries, which is very good, but we usually put in dried blueberries instead. Pour some over yogurt and you have a great breakfast or snack.
You can make this gluten free using certified gluten-free oats.
