Whole Grain Granola with Cranberries. I loveeee this granola recipe! It’s super delicious and full of healthy ingredients. Since I discovered homemade granola, I’ve never bought back commercial granola. Besides the fact that you can choose all the ingredients, it can be stored in air-tight containers for months with losing its crunchiness. Whole Grain Granola with CranberriesOne of the things I like when I make this granola, is the aroma it leaves in my house. Mmm … yummy! It’s the smell that prepares you for what you are about to eat. Plus I love that all the ingredients I put on it are super healthy and heart healthy whole grains; full of fiber, antioxidants and healthy fats like omega-3 fatty acids. Whole Grain Granola with CranberriesThis batch of granola was prepared specifically for the bridal shower my mom threw to me last Saturday. (I had a great time, thanks mom!) She prepared a breakfast buffet table where she put fruit, natural yogurt and granola. And while many people doubled their granola portions, we still have a large jar of granola. Whole Grain Granola with CranberriesFor me it is a delicious snack, the truth is that I can eat by the spoonful, without adding anything to it. Although sometimes it stuck in my throat and I start coughing like crazy. If you want to keep the granola as a healthy snack, just make sure that you stick to the recommended daily portion and that you are topping it with healthy products.Whole Grain Granola with Cranberries
