Hola, Ola Granola!

Hola, Ola Granola!
I once spent some vacation time up in Maine near a farmer's market that had the best granola. We brought a ton home figuring it would last forever, which is another term for "one week." While there are certainly some mass brands of granola that are pretty darn good, Ola Granola is the first one I've found that comes close to that farmer's market version I loved.

Besides, it's totally fun to say out loud.

Ola Granola is made by a New York-area mom of three boys in small batches with nothing but the kinds of ingredients you don't mind feeding your family. Unless of course you hate things like Vermont maple syrup. Both Vanilla Almond and Cranberry Orange Pecan are just delicious on their own for snacking, over ice cream or I'd imagine in any of the granola recipes they've got on site. Pumpkin Muffins with Cream Cheese Frosting? Hello.

Or, I guess, hola. Ola. -Liz

Find Ola Granola online on their website or at a retailer in the northeast.
