I LOVE sugar—refined sugar for clarification. I would marry it if I could. Obviously that is an unhealthy relationship since we all know too much sugar is bad for our bodies. It's good to have other options. Like this healthy homemade granola!
How to make healthy homemade granola
This granola is one of my favorite "treats" to eat now whenever I get a hankering to pound an entire sleeve of Oreos. My friend Becca made it for me and I CANNOT stop eating it. It reminds me of cake batter for some reason, and I am still in shock that the only sweeteners in it are honey and vanilla! That's it! Tastes like candy heaven. Trust me when I say this is the stuff in which you should indulge your sweet tooth if you are trying to be healthy.
I love to eat it as a topping for yogurt or a smoothie bowl, or with milk. Get the recipe for this healthy homemade granola below!
