Recipesfull introduces to you: Granola Recipes. (Fruit and Nut Granola (Chrissie's Granola) Recipe). Originally given to me at work as a 'Hey! I made this, try it, it's vegan (I'm not vegan), you'll love it!' and I did; I really did love it. I've made it several times now and a modified version for my husband (omitted the chocolate and used deluxe mixed nuts). I have to stash some or get none in my house.
