Easy Homemade Granola

I’m sure a lot of people would agree that granola is a total pantry staple.  It certainly is for me!  As one of my favorite toppings on oatmeal, chia seed pudding, and Greek yogurt parfaits, it is rare I go a day without eating some sort of granola.  In fact, I often snack on it by the handful.  The best thing about it, however, is the endless number of variations, which are somehow ALL good.  Plus, it is so easy to make granola at home, where you have the freedom to put whatever you want in it!

Here’s two flavors I decided to try the other day: vanilla blueberry almond and cinnamon cranberry walnut.  They have the same base ingredients but different mix-ins to jazz it up a little.  Both turned out delightful, but I have to say I loved the cinnamon cranberry walnut just a teeny-tiny bit more.  I am a huge cinnamon fan though, so that is just my personal preference.  Chose whatever sounds best to you or try them both!  After all, all you have to do is stir, bake, then start snacking!

Note: The purpose of the egg white is to hold the granola together. Simply omit if you are vegan or prefer less clustered granola.
