Healthy Homemade Granola (with video)

Granola often sucks. Bottom line. But let’s face it, as a vegan breakfast options are slim and few. Granola is a few things, and interesting it is not. But this easy to make power granola makes an amazing breakfast cereal, that even I would eat. Sweet, hearty, crunchy and filling. So when you think granola don’t think barefoot hippie in the back woods, think sophisticated breakfast with a side of fruit and a mimosa.
