We are counting down until the weather warms up (and stays warm, shout out to Utah weather…). With summer comes all of our favorite treats, ice cream, popsicles, snow cones, and basically any other form of frozen sugar we can find! These sugary treats are great, and you have probably noticed that we like our fair share of yummy treats, but sometimes you need something a little lighter to fuel your body. This homemade granola is a great option for breakfast or a snack during your summer. Add your favorite nuts, or a different variety of fruit to make this the perfect summer treat for your family!
