This granola is so yummy! I have swapped out different kinds of dried fruits in this and some have been great and some have been interesting to say the least! Have you ever had dried cantaloupe? That's right, cantaloupe! Not a big fan really. It was strange and super sweet! Use whatever fruits fit you, your kiddos or your family best. A really good place to buy dried fruits is at the Neighbors Country Market in New Paris. They have loads!! Also, when it comes to GF oats, be sure you buy the ones that say GF on the label! Not all are GF! Also, I use brown rice syrup (again, my good ole New Paris store) instead of using oil. Gives it some crunch with out the fat. It is also a GF option and I personally enjoy it! Please use your creative freedom to make this with whatever fruits, nuts or seeds you would like. This by the way makes an amazing late night snack! Who needs milk?! Just fist it!
