Maple Cinnamon Granola

Maple Cinnamon Granola is a staple in our house. I have been making this granola for my husband for over 20 years on a regular basis. It is always in our pantry. Over the years this has been the number one requested recipe from family and friends. At Christmas I make in and put it in large antique ball jars for gifts.

Maple Cinnamon Granola

This granola freezes very well. It is great for traveling and is a great topping for a plant based yogurt or fruit salad. Don't be afraid to add a little extra cinnamon if you want a more intense flavor.
