My granola company never took off, but I’m still cranking out batches of this stuff and people are always wanting the recipe.
It’s a great summer snack to have in the glovebox instead of bars. With the nuts and oats, after a handful you’re satisfied until you can get some real food in you.
My recommendation is NOT to mix this with yogurt or milk. In comparison to other granolas, this blend doesn’t have a lot of sugar, so any addition dilutes the barley-there sweetness.
