For dessert we had Greek yogurt with Vanilla Almond Granola in the South Arm Women Community Kitchen.
One of the participant requested for a home-made granola recipe. So, Michelle shared this Almond Vanilla Granola recipe in this session. Michelle pointed out that granola made with honey tends to be darker than other sweetener like maple or agave syrup.
Ingredients
