Walnut Granola Crunch Recipe

:: Walnut Granola Crunch Recipe ::

I am ADDICTED to Costco’s Granola!!!  Have you had it? Shane had to have a semi-intervention with me in regards to their granola, so I needed to whip up a batch of homemade granola stat!  This Walnut Granola Crunch Recipe is healthy, delicious, and it makes your home smell incredible while it’s baking.  The smell of the sweet honey, oats, and walnuts create the perfect fall aroma.  This is exactly why I love granola and oatmeal so much.  It’s healthy, filling, and it can be versatile.  It is a fall favorite, but with a few simple switches, this granola can be enjoyed year around.

What is so very enjoyable about this Walnut Granola Crunch Recipe is the simplicity in making it.  It really is as easy as it looks.  I like to eat mine over Greek Yogurt and topped with fresh fruit.  I think this recipe would be a delicious treat on a lazy Sunday morning, or sealed up in a pretty storage container and given as a gift!
