Homemade granola mix

I was inspired by crumble toppings on fruit crumble recipes. I was wondering what would happen if I replace the flour with oats and whether that would make granola mix for breakfast.

So I started out with softened butter and old-fashioned oats. Add a little bit sugar, salt and spice powders like cinnamon and nutmeg. You can also add your favorite nuts. I added some sunflower seeds and slivered almonds. Don't be afraid to get dirty here. Just use your hand and work the butter into the oats. Once that's done, you're pretty much done.

Spread the mix on a baking sheet and toast it in a 350degree oven for 20-25min. Take it out and flip the mixture with a spatula a few times in between to ensure even toasting. You place would smell so good as a result. Once the mixture is cooled, you can add dried cranberries, raisins or even chocolate chips. Get yourself a bowl, a spoon and some milk. Enjoy!
