Kitchen Kush: Granola good for anytime (recipe)

This granola is so good, you may want to just eat it straight from the jar and not bother with milk or yogurt.

Or you may want to add it to pancake batter, or sprinkle it over a halved apple or pear and bake it for a while.

Good granola in the stores tends to be pretty expensive, and you never get exactly what you want. If you make it yourself, you get to pick everything that goes in it.

As long as you follow the quantity recommendations, change things up to make it your very own blend.

It keeps well in a tightly covered jar, sealable bag or container. One thing to keep in mind: If this granola is going to be for breakfast, keep the dose on the low side. Just replace some regular coconut oil for the medicated coconut oil in the recipe. If you have the day off, party on, Wayne!
