Quaker Granola

I love Quaker Natural Granola. Love it. It’s one of my favorite cereals. Nothing better then warming it up in the microwave SO.GOOD! I was at Costco one day and didn’t want to spend my life savings so I went in and actually got what I was going there for in the first place. I saw the granola and seriously considered getting it but decided not to…even though I really, really wanted to. I decided I would try making some myself! And that’s exactly what I did.

It was gone in 2 days! I need to remember to double my recipe!
I can’t eat yogurt alone, it has to be with granola or something, that’s why it goes so fast! I eat it for breakfast and then nibble on it when I want a snack throughout the day. Yum.

Double Yum!
