Breakfast is one of the hardest meals for me to take the time to make and eat. This past fall Eric and I started making our own homemade granola – it’s easy and you can put whatever you love in it. But I found that making it made me see all of the sugar that went into it. That’s when I turned to Susan of Peas and Love for a new and healthier version of what I was making. This delicious Lavender Granola is a burst of spring in your mouth and topped with some berries it makes my heart sing. Hope you enjoy this as much as Susan and I did last Saturday!
