For granola to be Flaweless it needs to be moist and chewy yet still have a little salty-sweet crunch. I absolutely love Whole Foods Market’s version so I set out to copy it and this is it! I also want to thank the amazing www.thebusy.be for her recipe as it was an incredible guide!

Here is my recipe for granola #TheFlawelessWay :
