If you have not noticed, I love granola and enjoy making it. I like to make my own recipes too, combine my favorite ingredients. This is a new one I created today. I figured out I like shredded coconut in my granola which is odd when I do not necessarily love coconut, hmm. I had lots on nuts in my pantry, so I really mixed up the nuts today. I chopped almonds, walnut, pecans, cashews and hazelnuts. This should give my granola a good nutty mixed taste.
You can also make granola to your liking, just be sure to keep the same content of dry versus wet when doing so.
