Honey Cinnamon Granola Recipe - Three Ingredients Plus Add-Ins

I found that I was munching a bag of Granola and thought "How hard can this be?"

The Answer is Not Very!

The ingredients were simple, and that was what I wanted.   If you want something more "commercial" and "complex" consider the add-ins at the end.  I purposely kept this as healthy and simple as possible.

This makes a little more than a cup and a half of Honey Cinnamon Granola as is.  Adding in raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips will bulk it up but will also add calories.  Without Add Ins, the entire recipe comes in at 580 calories (give or take).

You decide, that's the deal with Granola.

And... Holy Cow! this was good on top of Cottage Cheese and Homemade Mango Jelly for breakfast!
