My mom loves cinnamon so I made this especially for her. She likes to eat it sprinkled over greek yogurt but it could also be nice with some fresh berries or used to jazz up some plain oatmeal. Don’t get too excited but it kind of tastes like a healthy cinnamon bun… in granola form. Once you have all the ingredients this is easy to make time and again. In the long run it is also more cost effective than buying fancy packaged granolas, many of which contain preservatives, cheap fillers, unhealthy sweeteners and GMOs.
