Granola with Cereal

Even healthy granola from the store will be made with soy or canola oil, both of which you may not want to have even more of in your diet because of genetic modifications in the originating crop and processing damage to both. This recipe uses heart healthy grapeseed or avocado oil and real, organic butter in its most natural form. The taste is delicious, and you can add any of your favorite nuts, seeds, or dried fruits. You can make this batch and store it in an airtight container for many mornings to come!
