Some people like granola with yogurt, others prefer it with milk—or maybe even non-dairy milk. Those who fall into the former camp and prefer to snack on granola dry will adore this cluster-heavy bark. It's extra-crunchy and protein-packed thanks to flaxseeds, almonds, almond flour, pepitas, and the egg white that binds them all together. Bake and cool, then pack into bags for a snackable breakfast that pairs well with a latte.
