Homemade Baked Granola

Meal Prep Made
Homemade Granola is so much better than the store-bought granola. When I found out how easy it is to make with oats, nuts, and seeds. I never considered buying it in a box again. It is also very inexpensive to make. Compare the cost of making versus purchasing it.
