It may seem like a super big pain to make something homemade that you can easily buy at the grocery store, but there are a couple important reasons why you should consider making your own homemade nut-free granola.  It’s cheaper.  Buying the ingredients separately will cost way less than buying a box of granola. You have more control over what goes into your homemade granola. This may be especially important if you are dealing with multiple food allergies or if you are simply picky.
