Nut-Free Granola
This granola recipe was given to me by my former career coach. It combines hearty rolled oats, a variety of seeds, and dried fruit. Bound together with honey and sesame oil it has a beautifully distinct flavor! A large batch lasts up to a month, and because it’s nut-free, you can pack it in school lunches.
