Eliza's Millionaire Granola

The last time I made this granola, I ACCIDENTALLY bought $40 worth of macadamia nuts. Hence the name, Eliza's Millionaire Granola. If you don't want this recipe to cost your first born's tuition, feel free to substitute the macadamia nuts for almonds.

Sprinkle on top of greek yogurt with fresh fruit and prepare to be transported to your imaginary boyfriend's family estate in Muskoka.
