Have you ever eaten what you thought was a big breakfast, only to find your stomach growling two hours later? Not only is that annoying—it’s also counterproductive. Megan’s husband, Nick, used to eat granola every morning, because it was the only breakfast option that could stave off hunger until lunchtime. But when the grocery store stopped carrying his favorite brand, Megan sprang into action and saved the day!

With a degree in Baking & Pastry Arts from Paul Smith’s College, coupled with years of experience working in professional kitchens, Megan is no novice around the stove. As she undertook to satisfy her husband’s breakfast needs, Megan baked batch after batch of granola. She tested multiple recipes and experimented with various ratios of baking vs. drying time—all while dodging questions, breakdowns, and cries for attention from her two wonderful toddlers! But then it happened. 

After much trial and error, Megan blended and prepared the ingredients in the most fantastic, delectable way—resulting in the development of the most delicious granola ever. Mad Hen Granola™ was born.
