Simple Homemade Vanilla Granola

Molly LaFontaine of Plum Branch Home
My simple homemade vanilla granola has chunks of dried mango, pistachios, and cashews creating a balanced blend of sweet and savory. When mixed with maple syrup and vanilla extract, the flavors create a harmonious flavor that I know you'll love! P.S. It tastes 100 times better than any store-bought version!
