Ina Garten And Jeffrey Have A Go-To Granola Brand For Dessert
By KAREN HART
In an interview with Bon Appétit, Ina Garten revealed which dessert she makes the most often for herself and her husband, Jeffrey. It's a simple recipe with a special ingredient.
The Barefoot Contessa says that when she makes her favorite everyday yogurt parfait, she always reaches for bags of BOLA brand granola, because she loves the way it tastes.
"I buy granola because unless you can make something that's better than what you'd buy, there's no point in spending the time!" said Garten, who's always all about convenience.
BOLA, derived from the phrase "Bowl of granOLA," has been on the market for about 16 years and can be purchased online, at Whole Foods, or at select artisan grocery stores.
Their granola, which is also sold in a gluten-free option, simply uses oats, almonds, and pumpkin seeds as the base, with just a little salt, sweetener, and vanilla for taste.
