So, I stumbled onto a recipe of homemade nutty granola and it was fantastic. As I’ve made it over the past year, I have changed the recipe to my liking. My version is filled with as many nuts as I can find in my pantry! So here goes… Preheat your oven to 250 degrees. If you don’t have pecans, use walnuts!
