Homemade Granola

I have been dying for a good crunchy granola lately. I hesitate to do store bought granola because it can be packed with sugar! So I whipped up this tasty granola last night. (Nick came downstairs and mentioned that our house smiled amazing! The scent really got me into back to school/fall mode.) 

I think this granola is going to be the perfect addition to my yogurt snack this first week back at school. Enjoy!
