Fruit and Honey Granola

This granola recipe puts summer sunshine in a bowl for a bright start to the morning. It’s great with yogurt, but today it’s milk. Notice how it trickles through the dry valleys of clustered oat, nut, and honey. Then think about the things that matter to you and know you’ve already done the first thing right.
