Granola is a food made with a combo of rolled oats, nuts, dried fruits and some sweeteners. They are widely consumed these days as a breakfast, brunch or even a tea time snack. Many love to have it as Muesli or simply as it is with milk, coffee or juices.
This recipe is my version of making Granola in a simple way and how to store it for a better shelf life. Granola is a good option for a healthy meal as they contain a lot of edibles which are nutritious too.
