Simple Granola Recipe with Baby's Sweet Potato Pie

Don't let homemade granola intimidate you! This scrumptious snack is a great way to let the whole family enjoy Baby Gourmet's Sweet Potato Pie puree!

This lovely nut-free granola is a delicious and nutritious addition to yogurt for the babes 18 months +, but also a satisfying snack for kids and adults. Keep in mind the dried fruits are interchangeable- you can mix and match your favorites. If planning on feeding to baby- keep it simple with no added seeds or nuts and make sure to dice unsulfured dried fruit into tiny bite-sized pieces. Adults and older kids can handle more variety.
