This weekend, we’re going camping.
So, I wanted to make something fun to snack on while we’re out in the hot sun. What better than granola?
It’s healthy and this version is very flavorful. I love the nuts and dried fruit in it.
It’s the perfect camping snack!

Yummy! Have fun camping!
I love granola- it's definitely a pantry staple in our house and I always bring back a huge back of it to school with me 🙂
We add some ground flax seed in ours…can't taste it but makes it healthy!
