Ask a question about this stepWhat a great idea!! And what a nice, straightforward granola recipe. Thanks for posting it. I sometimes top my oatmeal (which I eat almost every morning) with granola, to add some texture and some new flavors, but I've never thought to turn granola into a hot cereal like this. Love this!

I love the simplicity of this granola recipe. I'm eating a bowl of it right now - made mine Cherry-Almond. So great! Looking forward to trying it hot! Thanks, betteirene.
