Grain-Free Granola
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a huge granola fan. I’m more of a savory person, and if I’m going to have something sweet, it’s chocolate. Enter grain-free granola, and let me tell you- it’s a game changer. My mom made this for my brother’s birthday, and I almost ate the entire batch. Not too sweet, perfectly crumbly and packed with protein, it’s a new go-to for breakfast, snacks, or dessert. Thanks, mom!
