Maple Almond Granola Clusters

The trick to thick clusters is to press the granola down tightly when you bake it and let it cool and harden before breaking up into pieces. As a snack, over yogurt or ice cream you will love these Maple Almond Granola Clusters!

I used to love Honey Bunches of Oats cereal but I don't eat much cereal these days. I do miss those big clusters. So I get my full with a little granola in my Greek yogurt.

Sometimes I will buy store bought granola but let's be honest it's crap compared to homemade. And making it is so stinkin easy and takes all of 6 minutes before baking. And it smells delightful.

I made this last week, it makes quite a bit of granola. But that didn't stop my family. It was gone in three days. Guess that's what I get for leaving it in a container on the counter. A handful here, there and boom it's gone.

If I wasn't in Nashville right now you can guarantee I would be making this.
