Honey Nut Granola
We’ve served this versatile treat for breakfast with milk and fresh fruit, packed it to go for a midafternoon snack, and sprinkled it over vanilla ice cream for a last-minute dessert. It stays nice and crunchy for up to 2 weeks when stored in a resealable plastic bag or a container with a tight lid.
