This delicious Alaskan Granola Recipe hails from the Kachemak Bay Wilderness Lodge across the bay from Homer, AK. It's so good I begged for the recipe when we visited and it's so good I wanted to share jars of this magical mix with family and friends this Christmas - which of course includes YOU :)
My only tweak to the recipe was adding 2 drops of Cinnamon Bark to the olive oil and maple syrup - in order to emulsify the essential oil making for easy and thorough distribution throughout the granola before baking.
Enjoy!
