As promised in today’s issue of the Medical Examiner (be sure to check out an entire article about granola), here’s the Medical Examiner’s personal favorite granola. Homemade. Delicious. Nutritious. Salubrious, of course. The M.E. is, after all, Augusta’s Most Salubrious Newspaper. Plus this stuff is ridiculously easy to prepare. Throw all the dry ingredients into a large bowl. Stir ’em up. Add the un-dry ingredients (oil and honey). Bake. Cool. Eat. That’s about it.

Below: a suggested serving. Skip the berries and raisins, or add even more. Blueberries work great, too.
