amish maple granola
This is hands down one of my favorite breakfasts and honestly, a great snack anytime. It is inspired by favorite Amish store in my hometown where they sell the best granolas, bulk foods and baked goods. If you love maple, you will really love this one. I love serving this with Greek Yogurt and fresh blueberries or raspberries.
