Jason's Granola
I made Jason's granola this morning. It is a delightful snack, as well as breakfast cereal. I used slightly chopped hazelnuts and almond halves. Experiment with varieties of dried fruits.
Jason's Note: This stuff is very basic and highly satisfying. Much better than anything store-bought, I've found. This recipe is adapted from Alton Brown's granola recipe. As long as the proportions remain th0 ServingsPrep: 0 min. Cook: 0 min.
