Oats, nuts, seeds, sweetener and dried fruit...those are the basic components of granola. We love this version. This combo includes nutty almond butter and dried cherries which makes it a little reminiscent of a PB&J. We added Sel Gris because we love the little crunches of saltiness. Vietnamese Cinnamon adds a lovely spicy note. This is a great breakfast staple and packs well for delicious on-the-go snacking!
