A little history on this recipe; my Mom made this all the time growing up. We ate it sprinkled on yogurt or ice cream, with milk, or just by itself for a snack. You can add dried fruit to it or just have it plain. Now that I have my own kids their favorite way to eat it is as a granola bar. I searched hi and low till I found this granola bar recipe ( http://www.cooking2gether.blogspot.com/2012/10/oatmeal-raisin-granola-bars.html ). It is the best and come out perfect every time. I will warn you, I generally make a double batch of the granola because we go through it SO fast. If you buy the ingredients in the bulk section of your grocery store it will save you $. Thanks Mom for this amazing recipe!
