Clean Crunching: Homemade Granola Recipes

Have you ever read the ingredient and nutrition label on your store-bought granola? If not, do yourself a health-benefitting favor and read it. Besides loads of sugar, there are many unnecessary ingredients. Granted, there are a few brands who have a cleaner ingredient label, but if you have the option to make your own granola–or any snack for that matter–, knowing exactly what’s in it, why not do so?

We’ve tried out a few of these homemade granola recipes and not only do they taste fresher, but we know exactly what’s in them. No hidden sugars, chemicals or GMOs. Plus, making your own granola is easy peasy! Take a peak.
