General:Bay Leaves come from the sweet bay or laurel tree, known botanically as Laurus nobilis. The elliptical leaves of both trees are green, glossy, and grow up to 3 inches long....
I always eat granola with low-fat yogurt as breakfast, and I love cooking by myself, this cranberry and almond granola is my first time to try, and they are great, especially the dried cranberries are added after baking, much better than I put dried fruits at last 5 minutes baking, and maple syrup, apple juice give this recipe extra nice flavor, I will definetly make it again.
