Recipes Breakfast and Brunch Cereals Granola Recipes Grandma's Homemade Granola 4.8 (15) 14 Reviews 4 Photos I made this homemade granola with my grandmother one day. It's packed with oats, coconut flakes, almonds, dried cranberries, and other good stuff. Everyone loved it, including my other grandma! My favorite ways to serve it are with coconut Greek yogurt or just in a bowl with milk. It's simple and awesome!
