Are you a fan of granola? Me too! That's why I was so excited when I first heard about its raw cousin "raw-nola" It's so much faster and easier too.
If you’ve been around for a while then you probably are familiar with my obsession with granola. That’s why it shouldn’t come as any surprise that I’ve found a new version to fall in love with. It’s “rawnola”, and it’s my new favorite thing. Okay, so basically it’s just crumbled up bliss balls or unbaked granola but it’s so good! It’s kind of a crossover between oatmeal and cereal. Plus, it’s way faster and easier than granola so you can have it ready in minutes.
I think this is where the crowd will split because if you’re the type of person who loves crunchy cookies then you’re probably going to favor granola. However, if you’re like me and you drool over the cookie dough then this is for you. I mean, I like it both ways but I love changing it up every now and again (lbh, all the time!).
