The Ultimate Irresistible Granola

I was in the mood for something sweet this afternoon but didn’t want to leave the house.  With the limited items in my pantry I was still able to whip up something to satisfy my sweet tooth.  I found a recipe for the Ultimate Irresistible Granola on AllRecipes.com and modified it with what I had.

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
