Notes: My husband likes for me to make this granola for breakfast, to which I add sunflower seeds, chopped walnuts and even peanuts for extra protien and if I have it I'll add shredded coconut as well. But, you know all the rest of this recipe is going to be toooo good for every mornings breakfast, and myself I'd rather have it for after dinner.... (larger audience)! Give it a try.
