Tasty Tuesdays: Healthy Granola

A few years ago,I shared a granola recipe that my mom makes often.

I really like it — but it makes a huge recipe, and it still has a lot of brown sugar and sugared coconut.

My daughter decided to look at different recipes and put together her own recipe. I really like it — she has made it twice, and I have eaten a lot of it with some yogurt and fruit for a healthy breakfast!

Here is one recipe for Healthy Granola!
