Home-Made Granola

One of my favorite things in life is the smell of baked goods baking and especially on a Sunday Morning. I have come up with a lower fat version of a typical Granola. I omit the oil and add chopped nuts and banana chips for this particular recipe. Changing your lifestyle to portion controlling your food intake is the most successful "Diet Plan" out there. So, be cautious with this recipe because it has a lot of sugar, so it is high in carbs. It is also high in fiber, good fats and when joined with 1 scoop of Protein Powder and some Almond Milk and 1/2 fruit of your choice...It is HEAVEN!
