5 Ingredient Granola Recipe

By Christina | Food Apparel Leave a Comment

Granola at FoodApparel.com

So, while I seriously love this Honey Granola recipe that I previously posted, this version here that I got from my friend Jeannette is great when you just need to quickly whip some up from a few simple ingredients.

Five ingredients: oats, brown sugar, water, salt, vanilla. That’s it. And the cool thing is, there are still a ton of ways you can modify it to give it a little flair.
