There is a special place in my heart for breakfast. Consider it–when else can you acceptably eat dessert for an entire meal? Just think of the traditional breakfast foods: cinnamon rolls slathered with a generous amount of cream cheese frosting, buttermilk waffles with maple syrup and whipped cream, lemon-glazed scones, and creamy oatmeal with brown sugar.
Don’t get me wrong; I can’t deny my love for the savory options either: slow scrambled eggs with goat cheese, whole grain toast with mashed avocado, and cold pizza (I am a college student after all).
But one of my favorite items, and I’m sure my dad will agree, is this granola. Unlike store-bought granola, this one has an intriguing mix of spices, and a barely sweet nature. You can customize the ingredients according to your taste buds, substituting dried cherries and chocolate for raisins and walnuts. Sprinkled over plain yogurt with fresh berries, in a bath of cold milk, or over a large scoop (or two!) of vanilla ice cream, this granola is one of my favorite ways to start the morning.
