I learned how to make granola with my mom. We lived in Venezuela but she had friends from all over the world. Among them a fellow American teacher, who, I imagine gave her the recipe. I loved it because I like everything crunchy and I love oats and all kind of cereals for breakfast. This yummy one has a delicious Latin ingredient you'll love!
