Start the New Year Right Granola

By this time of year, most of us are ready for healthier food after almost a month of holiday parties and celebrations.

This easy-to-make granola is low in fat and added sugar, but full of texture and flavor to help you ease into more healthy habits for the New Year.

Vary the nuts and dried fruit to suit your tastes, but maintain the same proportions in order to keep your granola on the healthier side.

(If you prefer a sweeter, chunkier granola, you can double the oil and honey.)

When you’ve mixed up a batch, prepare a quick make-ahead breakfast in the evening by topping half a cup of granola with frozen berries and yogurt. Leave it in the fridge overnight, and in the morning you’ve got breakfast ready to go.

This is a relatively low-fat granola. If you prefer a sweeter and chunkier cereal, you can double the oil and honey.
