Wee Granola

By devogirl

Crunchy and sweet, granola is the perfect 
breakfast treat or snack to keep in your purse for when you and your little one 
need a pick me up.
This wee granola is a powerhouse of nutrition containing dried fruits, 
wheat germ and nuts -- packed with vitamin B and magnesium to name just a 
few. You can easily serve the granola in a to-go cup for your toddler 
or pulse it in the food processor as a topping for fresh roasted peaches, yogurt or baked apples.

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat over to 275 degrees

2. Place all the ingredients in a mixing bowl, stir until completely combined.

3. Place the granola mixture on a cookie sheet and spread it out until it covers the sheet.

4. Bake for 30 minutes.

5. Stir the granola on the cookie sheet and bake another 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it remain on the sheet until it’s cool before stirring (this way it will be a little crispy and chunkier which is fun for kids to break up with their spoon).

6. Place a serving in a bowl and pour in milk.

7. Serve.
