Bakery Style Granola

We're big fans of the granola from a nearby bakery, but let's be real, $12 for a small bag is a bit steep. We have spent countless hours experimenting with different ingredients and adjusting our recipe until we finally crafted what we think is the best granola! Be careful. This crunchy bakery-style granola is really addictive!
