This simple cinnamon granola is a staple at my house. We love it on yogurt, ice cream, in a cereal bowl with milk and by the handful as a snack. This summer we are on a granola kick and my boys can not go a day without it! I don’t mind since it is so easy to make with no chopping or unusual ingredients and stores well. This simple recipe full of wholesome oats, cinnamon, maple syrup and sweet coconut makes a perfectly crunchy and delicious granola! And great news for my family (with my son having Celiac disease) you can easily make this gluten free by using certified gluten free oats, like these.
What are you enjoying this summer? Do you need other breakfast ideas other than cold cereal?
