Everyone pretty much knows that oats are good for you...good for a healthy heart + cholesterol, high in dietary fiber, minerals & vitamins, etc., etc.! You can read more about the wonders of oats here . Although when it's put on top of a cupcake it's not necessarily the healthiest treat (which is what we did this week at the shop with a vanilla chocolate chip cake, filled with honey mousse, topped with chocolate glaze & housemade vanilla granola)...
so I have some yummy (& pretty) granola recipes to share with you so you can pack your in your oat intake! Click on the links under each photo to get to recipes.

Topping cupcakes with homemade granola wasn't a first for us this week, we did the same thing about a year and 1/2 ago, but with a different nutty lemon granola recipe.
