I love a good homemade granola recipe so when I saw this on Mel’s Kitchen Cafe, I had to try them! And, my kids LOVE them. So do I! My daughter is quite the little “coocoo” (cookie) monster. (Wonder where she gets it from?!) So these are the perfect snack for her. She thinks they are cookies! Yay! My son is in charge of lunch at his preschool tomorrow so we made a batch to take. Hope the kids like them as much as mine do!
