On any hot day in Boston, you can find me eating my favorite healthy go-to snack of vanilla yogurt, homemade granola, and cold watermelon. Making homemade granola is so incredibly easy and cheaper than buying granola at the store. Power-packed with nutrients, this sweet, crunchy, and delicious recipe will make you granola crazy.
