Farmer's Wife Strawberry Granola

We love the crunchy sweetness of this wholesome Strawberry Granola. It makes a great topping for yogurt or ice cream, can be mixed into a trail mix for an on-the-go snack, or simply enjoyed on its own or combined with ice cold milk for a satisfying treat. The old-fashioned oats and dehydrated strawberries don't just add flavor, but also give this granola a heart-healthy edge!
