Homemade Granola

A wonderful snack/breakfast. Have it with milk or yogurt. Add fresh fruits of your choice. You can try variations with flavours. Can also add lemon or orange zest or vanilla to oil and honey mix after it has been warmed. Pecans can be used instead of walnuts.
For kids you can even add chocolate chips after granola has cooled down completely.
Its very easy to make it at home. So why pay a bomb. Homemade granola is not overloaded with sugar. You can add nuts and fruits of your choice.
Chop apricots and peaches (if using).
