My teenagers are obsessed with this healthy snack!

Hey there reader,

I'm not going to lie; I often purchase store-bought granola. It's more out of convenience than anything else. When Sunday rolls around, getting our main meals ready for the week is a higher priority than baking a pan of granola.

Well, friends, I have changed my tune. A couple of months ago, I forgot to grab a bag of granola from the store. My husband and kids love eating granola with their yogurt for snacks or lunch during the week, so instead of running to the grocery store, I made it homemade.

Within 10 minutes of cooking the granola, I realized four things.

#1 Homemade granola is way cheaper than store-bought granola. By the way, it seems the healthier the granola, the more expensive. Depending on the size, a bag of organic granola is between $5 and $10.

Making it homemade, using all organic ingredients, is a fraction of the cost.

#2 It's healthier. Even the healthiest of store-bought granola has unwanted ingredients and extra sugar. Making homemade means, you control the ingredients.

So, if you want a lower sugar granola that includes only the highest quality ingredients, then you can easily make it yourself. And, like I said, a lot cheaper.

#3 It's so easy to make. All you have to do is stir the ingredients together and bake. After it's cooled, store in mason jars to enjoy all week.

#4 Your house will smell amazing. I had to throw this on the list because if heaven has a smell, I'm positive it smells like homemade granola.

The homemade granola recipe that my kids are obsessed with is this Almond Butter Granola.

So simple, yet so amazing.

Like most of my recipes, I put this new granola together with the ingredients I had in the pantry.

We mostly use this Almond Butter Granola sprinkled on yogurt bowls, but I love eating it as cereal with coconut milk.

If you're on the hunt for a new homemade granola, then this is it.
