This granola is served frequently in our Wiscasset dining hall and is one of our most requested recipes. This particular version is nut-free, but you can substitute any combination of nuts, seeds and grains, as well as, varying the amount and type of sweetener. Quinoa flakes instead of oats would make this gluten-free.
