This is a wonderfully healthy breakfast to serve guests during the holidays. Some of the ingredients might be hard to find in a regular grocery store; Whole Foods or other health food markets would be your best bet. There is so many ways you can serve this homemade granola: yogurt parfaits layered with fresh fruit or served with milk and strawberries. Raisins would pair extremely well with this hearty granola. The crunchy granola could also act as a topping over ice cream for dessert.
Begin 2010 with a healthy start and give this recipe a "go"!
