Notes

What can I add to granola?
There are so many great add-ins for granola! One of our favorite combinations is made by adding dried banana chips, as peanut butter and banana are just made for each other. You could also add in some dried cherries, dried cranberries or dehydrated strawberries, giving you a sweet, fruity flavor with the peanut butter. Another add-in we do often is dark chocolate chunks. Who can resist peanut butter and dark chocolate?
