"I like granola with my Greek Yogurt but commercially prepared ones have lots of fat and calories. This is my attempt to be a little healthier! I have also made a hot cereal using 3/4 cups boiling water to 1/2 cup oat mixture. Add oat mixture to boiling water, bring back to boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until liquid is absorbed."
