Notes
- * Your favorite assortment of nuts and seeds will be great in this granola. Chopped cashews and walnuts have made it into our mix too! We really love shredded coconut in our mix, so feel free to sub for some of the nuts or millet.
- ** Extra-virgin olive oil will work as well if you don’t have safflower oil on hand. We like safflower oil for its neutral (non) taste.
