I initially named this granola Pasta Pot Granola because my pasta pot is the largest bowl or pot I have in my kitchen. So, when I make my granola recipe, out comes the pasta pot. It is the only vessel that is large enough to hold all of the ingredients and enable me to stir the contents without the contents going all over my kitchen. Necessity is the best invention! Bring out your largest pot and start mixing. Serve this granola as a topping for yogurt, desserts, or as a snack. It is quite addictive.
