Vanilla Granola with Honey and Almonds

Like love, breakfast is best when made at home.

Just out-of-the-oven granola fills the house with an intoxicating vanilla and brown sugar scent that encourages anyone entering to head straight for the cupboard for a spoon to dig right in. While supermarket shelves are filled with granola options, there is nothing quite like freshly toasted oats and nuts bound together with local honey. Seasonal additions of fresh or dried fruits, chocolate pieces, and toasted pepitas make for welcomed variations. Terrific with a honey drizzle and plain yogurt, this granola makes a hearty breakfast--simply pour on the milk and eat like cereal. Be careful---this heavenly scented granola is addictive
