Most commercial and bulk granolas are flavored with some kind of processed sweetener, and the second ingredient is usually a form of sugar. Nora wanted something healthier, where she could actually taste the toasted grains and nuts, so she made her own.

Over the past twenty years, Nora has been developing and perfecting the recipe for Nora’s Kitchen Granola and finding more and more uses for it in her kitchen. She grinds it up into flour, and adds it to cake batter or pie dough. She has even sprinkled it on top of roasted sweet potatoes, or any hot dish that calls for a crunchy topping.

When Nora first created Nora’s Kitchen Granola, it was based around helping her family. She has always loved to experiment with food, and granola was an easy thing to make instead of buying it at the store. Plus, most granola’s and cereals are full of sugar.  Cooking this way, Nora could make something tasty enough for her kids to enjoy, and healthy enough that she could ensure they were getting the right vitamins and nutrients they needed. Kids are picky, but her kids loved this granola. Later on she started to gift it to friends and neighbors within the community, and everyone kept telling her “You should sell this in stores!”.
