Cinnamon-Almond Granola. Also known in our house as Cinnamon Breakfast Crack. Dan and I just couldn't get enough of this cinnamony addiction yesterday morning. We devoured an entire batch within an hour of it coming out of the oven and were rummaging amidst the baking pan in search of more.
Most of it was eaten straight from the pan, but the remainder was enjoyed as cereal paired with vanilla almond milk. It would also be tasty sprinkled on top of apples slathered with almond butter and honey or mixed in with vanilla yogurt. The flavors are simple enough that this granola can be eaten in a variety of ways, and it's so quick and easy to make that you can whip it up for breakfast with only a minute's notice. Delicious. Addictive. Easy.
