Who doesn't love granola these days? When I was a child, granola bars were hard as a rock and dry. They've come a long way. Nowadays they tastier - all sorts of new healthy ingredients have been added such as dried fruits, nuts, peanut or almond butters, even a bit of chocolate. Not only is it a great source of fiber and protein, it is actually easy to make. How healthy is that?!Our recipe of the day is pretty simple. It's for granola cookies AND it's a diabetic recipe too.
