Homemade Granola

You guys, I made my own granola! I feel so fancy. The best part is that it's incredibly easy. Actually, the best part is that it's incredibly delicious. I was not expecting it to be that good and that addicting. So I've eaten an unhealthy amount of granola in the last few days, but it's SO good. 

Can we talk about how expensive granola is by the way? Why is it so expensive? I love granola and all but I don't want to pay 8 dollars for a small bag. So I made my own. And it made a lot. And I'm very happy. I've had it in my yogurt every morning and grab a handful every time I walk through the kitchen. 

If you are a granola lover, you should definitely try this out. The best part is you can add whatever you want to it. Nuts, coconut, cranberries, raisins, chocolate chips, whatever your little granola heart desires. 

Leave a comment and let me know if you love this as much as I did. Also, follow me over on Instagram @lolosdesserts or on Facebook. I love to see what you are baking!
