Lactose
This recipe is safe for those who are lactose intolerant.Recipe Notes
This granola is super simple to make and fantastically healthy for you. It’s best to use a non-stick cookie sheet or non-stick aluminum foil. If you use regular aluminum foil, let the granola stand for a few moments after coming out of the oven and any that is stuck to the foils will soften.
